Lot Description

A “WOW” coin from the Beaver Falls Collection that excited collectors at the March Baltimore and April 2022 Central States Shows.  (More from this collection coming in August, at the ANA.)  Dazzling luster combines with exquisite, iridescent toning to earn this R.5 subvariety an A+ for eye appeal.  Forty-four years ago, at the July 1978 ANA Convention in Houston, the consignor found this little gem in Julian Leidman’s bourse case.   Estimate: $4,000 and up
