Lot Description

B-3, BB-141. The only 1799/8 that has the 15 Star reverse die. Dove, slate, and accents of charcoal blend over smooth problem free surfaces. Touches of gold and lavender add to the visual allure. Lightly worn from a short stay in circulation has not caused any serious marks or defects. Hints of luster remains in the protected areas of the well defined devices. PCGS 33, NGC 7, CAC 7. The only CAC-approved example sold for $6,613 in April 2012. More recently a PCGS OGH sold as part of the Hamilton Collection in the 2016 ANA auction, realizing nearly $10,000. This pleasing example will certainly bring a strong price. Cert. Number 83780184 PCGS # 6883
