Lot Description

Ex Gehring Prouty and Keith Davignon.  The provenance guarantees a coin of exceptional quality.  Keith acquired it in May 1996 from MB 17, lot 137.  I offered the coin raw, grading it AU 58, with this description.  This coin is a knockout!  A trace of friction on the chin is all that separates it from MS 63.  The luster is thick and creamy.  The die state and strike are comparable to the Overton plate coin (graded MS 62 by NGC.)  There are simply no defect to mention.  My advice?  Streeeetch for this one!  Nearly 24 years later I offer the same advice.  Est. $3.500 to $4,000
