Lot Description

Ex Keith Davignon.  This charming 1827 was part of the Davignon consignment to Mail Bid Sale #39, August 2014.  Lot 47 sold for $1,649 and was described as follows: Halos of iridescent toning inveigle our senses, drawing us to closer examination.  Luster crosses the fields with the same intensity it displays between stars, a sure sign that the coin failed in its aspiration to enter commerce.  I find no blemishes.  Whatever friction PCGS identified seems ephemeral.  On another day this coin might have garnered an UNC designation.  From Coin Rarities Online during the 2010 Boston ANA.  Est. $1,250 to $1,550.
