Lot Description

A wonderful and original O-101 that is among the very FINEST KNOWN of this Red Book variety. Easily identifiable by the die break at the eagle's left wing, this is the only 1832 die marriage with the Large Letters reverse. The Census is 65,65,64,64,64 and this is the example at the very top of the Herrman sales list in the AMBPR. Dusky dove and pewter silver surfaces have tinges of rose-gold and olive-gold that are brought out by the underlying rich, satiny luster. Well struck and wonderfully preserved, the eye appeal is great, we are surprised this coin does not CAC. Ex. Stack's Bowers, November 2019, lot 1358. PCGS 10, NGC 2. This coin brought $4,560 in November 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,500. Just a single MS66 is graded higher at PCGS, a coin that has never sold in auction. This is a lovely coin worthy of a strong bid. Cert. Number 2257247 PCGS # 6161.00
