Lot Description

Ex Charlton E. Meyer, Jr., noted on the PCGS label.  Charlton purchased the coin in June 1974 from Lester Merkin’s sale of Al Overton’s dupes.  This was lot 244.  The coin is beautifully toned and free of blemishes.  Meyer never saw the need for an upgrade.  He graded it AU 55.  I agreed when appraising the Meyer Collection in 2008.  The coin will fit comfortably in a set of AU 55 or AU 58 bust halves.  Est. $500 to $600.
