Losbeschreibung

The O.115 and O.110 die marriages are keys to completing a die-variety set of 1818s.  High grade examples are rare.  The O.110, as a stepchild to the charismatic O.115, is often undervalued.  (Though an AU 55 brought $4,320 in Heritage’s recent “Founding Father’s” sale.)  Both die pairs appear in this auction.  (See lot 29.)  This untoned O.110 has too muchluster for a 45.  And the strike is far better than most.  The surfaces, however, are a tad busy, accounting for the modest grade.  Last offered in my Fixed Price List of April 2018.  Estimate: $500 to $750
