Losbeschreibung

Ex Ed Stout.  Silver-grey with intense luster – unusual for this scarce die pair.  Davignon pegged the coin as “one of the best 4 or 5 I’ve seen in 30 years.”  The obverse die debuted with and outlived the glamorous 50/UNI reverse.  Its new partner displays the full-feathered, crisp detail of a freshly prepared die.  Here is an important offering for the die variety collector; it will not go unnoticed.  BHNC member #40, Ed Stout, sold his collection to me in Jan. 2009.  He graded this coin “MS 60.”  He considered this coin and his 1833 O.115 (see lot 45) to be the highlights of his collection.   I leave it to others to find any friction on the coin.  Davignon purchased it via private treaty in April. 2009.    Est. $2,750 to $4,000.
