Lot Description

Ex Jules Reiver.  A stunning coin.  Richly toned in vibrant shades of gold and pale blue atop a thoroughly original antique grey patina.  The coin is utterly free of distractions.  This was lot 22711 in Heritage’s Jan. 2006 sale of the Reiver Collection.  (I was the buyer at $1,495.)  The coin was housed in an NGC AU 58 capsule and attributed as O.107.  I landed on O.107a, recognizing the coin to be an intermediate die state.  It hardly matters.  The selling point remains eye appeal!  Est. $1,500 to $2,000.
