Lot Description

Ex Charlton E. Meyer, Jr The Meyer provenance is noted on the PCGS label.  Swampy purchased the coin at a November 1975 Pine Tree Coin Co. auction, lot 619, where it was offered as “Brilliant Uncirculated.”  Only faint rub on Liberty’s breast prevents that designation today.  Tim put it in his basket of Meyer coins at the January 2009 FUN Show.  The coin is lightly toned with full cartwheel luster.  Quite an “AU 55” and R.4- to boot!   Estimate: $600 to $800
