Losbeschreibung

Yes, a third example of this Redbook variety, one for every budget.  The PCGS label memorializes the important provenance, “Meyer-Link.”  Untoned save for a ring of copper at the rims.  Bold luster befits the grade.  Softness through the dentils is mandatory on this later die state.  Meyer purchased the coin as a raw “AU 55” in Feb. 1986.  He was the first to assemble a collection of all 450 Capped Bust die pairs listed in Overton.  The next owner, Dr. Charles Link, became the third collector to do so - augmenting his assortment with the crushed lettered edge proofs of 1833-1834-1835. Est. $2,300 to $2,750.
