Lot Description

Ex Floyd Farley.  Iridescent turquoise flanks the Caribbean sunset colors of the central devices.  This pretty coin came to Tim in January 1994 when he fought off his pal Gehring Prouty to win lot 142 in Mail Bid 10.  The coin was consigned as an “XF 40+” (raw, of course) by Floyd Farley.  Grading was different in those days.   Estimate: $600 to $900
