Lot Description

A wonderful coin, formerly in the collection of Keith Davignon.  It brought $990 in MB 38, my Jan. 2014 FUN Show sale.  Here is the description of lot 45: A classic “grey dirt” coin, the only quibble being an overly conservative grade.  Luster in the fields is undisturbed, unusual for a mere “50.”  The coin is without blemishes.  The double profile is a common and curious feature of this date.  Struck from a very late state of the dies.  Davignon listed it as “O.104a,” (a bow to the die state).  Acquired from Augustin Capital Mgmt. in June 2010.  Est. $500 to $800.
