Lot Description

A scrumptious 1817/3, to be welcomed in a high-grade Red Bookor die variety set.  The toning and surfaces are first rate.  The strike is about as good as it gets for this overdate.  I just peeked at Herman’s latest AMBPR.  He lists nearly 60(!) 1817/3s sold privately or at auction over the last few years.  Exactly 3 carried CAC stickers!  (Two AU 55s and an MS 64 that sold for $64,000 in 2014.)  A highlight of this sale.   Estimate: $3,000 and up
