Lot Description

A handsome example with familiar die breaks through the date and left hand stars.  Pale rose and burgundy toning graces the fields; the peripheries are silver with iridescent highlights.  No contact marks deserve mention.  With a modest R.2 rarity rating, this overdate remains difficult to locate in AU or better.  It has been nearly 4 years since a PCGS graded AU 50 has appeared at auction!  [Heritage’s Sept. 2012 Long Beach Sale, lot 4515 @ $3,055.]    Est. $2,000 to $3,000.
