Losbeschreibung

Ex Louis Eliasberg.  Semi- prooflike fields, obverse and reverse, with original silver-grey toning, a feature of most Eliasberg half-dollars.  The central devices are fully struck.  Lot 1839 in the April 1997 Eliasberg Sale; earlier in the George Earle and John H. Clapp collections.  Auction tag accompanies.  Though offered raw as “MS-61 proof-like,” my notes suggested a higher grade.  Dave Rutherford outbid Tim Osborne, in a friendly battle between senior members of BHNC.  Davignon acquired the coin from me at the Nov. 2009 Baltimore Show when Rutherford decided to part with his collection.   Est. $2,600 to $3,000.
