Lot Description

Ex Tim Osborne: MB 53, Lot 11, Jan. 2022 @ $3,300.  Lightly toned centers, with flashes of gold.  The stars and legend display darker, iridescent toning.  Luster befits the grade.  Smooth surfaces are a bonus.  A nice 1817 that was in Tim’s collection since he found it at a local coin show in October 1989.  Mike Brelsford prevailed in a bidding war with an advanced Michigan collector, confirming the adage that nice coins bring nice prices.  Estimate: $1,800 to $2,500
