Lot Description

A fully CHOICE O-105, just below the Tompkins Condition Census and within the Overton Census. Despite being listed as a Rarity-1 die pairing, these are rare in such a lofty state of preservation. Struck from Tompkins Die State 2/2, with both sides showing bold die clash marks, but no cracks. Flashy, semi-reflective, watery lustrous fields glow from under a layer of rich patina. Keenly struck with exceptionally sharp definition for the date (which often comes incredibly week). A couple of minor abrasions can be seen with the aid of a strong glass. The eye appeal is great. Ex Dale Friend Collection, Part II, Heritage, January 2019, lot 4479; NFC, to our consignor, via Private Treaty, October 2020. PCGS 2, NGC 3. This is the only one to sell in auction, realizing $18,000 in the 2019 FUN auction. The current Collectors Universe value is $20,000. Rare finer for the date, there are about two dozen graded between MS64 and MS66. An incredible CHOICE Mint State example of the date and type, worthy of a sensational type, date, or variety set. Good luck. Cert. Number 40312341 PCGS # 6079.00
