Lot Description

“Dash date” obverse (also found on the R.7+ 1832 O.123.)  Only the MS 66 Eliasberg coin is finer.  Silver-grey toning, a bit darker on the reverse.  Keith found this gem in Heritage’s NY Signature auction, Nov. 2015, lot 3253, @ $7,050.  “Love the originality of this one,” he writes.  The “look” and pristine surfaces remind this cataloguer of the Plimpton family coins, hoarded and described by Keith in recent JR Journal articles. Estimate: $5,500 to $7,000
