Lot Description

Ex Friend Collection, as noted on the insert. O-106 is the Knob 6, Small Stars variety, though not noted on the PCGS encapsulation. Scarcer overall than the Knob 6, Large Stars type in all grades. Lightly worn with only the lightest hint of rub on the highest points. Generally well struck with much retained luster in the protected areas of the design types. The surfaces are toned with shades of old silver and light gray, that blends to iridescent blue and antique gold in the areas. Boldly struck with essentially full breast feathers, indeed the only area of striking softness is on the rightmost clouds. The eye appeal is excellent for the grade with no flaws that detract. Ex Dale Friend Collection; Sheridan Downey's Mail Bid #41, August 2015, lot 4; our consignor. PCGS 6, NGC 0. In August 2015, this coin realized $5,555 in Sheridan Downey's Mail Bid 41, more recently these have sold in the $2,340 to $4,230 range. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $4,000. VERY SCARCE any finer. Specialists take heed and bid strongly for this lovely collector coin! Cert. Number 14279413 PCGS # 6075.00
