Description du lot

Medium grey toning, lighter on the devices.  Good luster at the peripheries, softer in the fields.  Generally smooth surfaces; a minor tick behind Liberty’s head is hard to see.  The dotted or punctuated date of 1817 is one of those “common” die pairs that is devilishly hard to find in higher grades.  But you knew that.  Auction prices for AU examples cover a wide range.  This example was purchased 11 years ago, unattributed, in an NGC AU 53 holder.  Est. $2,000 to $3,000
