Lot Description

Ex Charlton Meyer, Jr. Vibrant luster explodes from the untoned surfaces.  Just a hint of cabinet friction on the cheek.  The centers are fully struck; note especially the detail in Liberty’s curls.  The only weakness is at her lowest drapery lines.  The PCGS label includes the Meyer provenance.  My personal notes reveal Swampy’s source: Superior Galleries’May 1995 sale, lot 2790.  Tim acquired the coin from Harry Laibstain at the January 2009 FUN Show.   Estimate: $800 to $1,100
