Lot Description

The Old Green Label dates to Oct. 1989, when Tim won the coin in a Teletrade auction.  Teletrade was inaugurated in 1986 by Bernard Rome as a vehicle for bidding on certified coins using a telephone touchpad.  In 2013 it was acquired by the Spectrum Group and merged with Stack’s-Bowers.  This untoned 1826 sports luster that will do justice to today’s AU 58s.  A bit of friction on the cheek and minuscule, scattered hairlines kept the coin away from an MS designation.    Estimate: $450 to $600
