Lot Description

Brilliant, untoned with flashy luster.  The reverse rotated 40° clockwise.  This may have been the nicest coin in the collection of the late Lorene Farnsworth, the first female member of BHNC.  I purchased her collection in the fall of 2009.  Tim acquired the coin from me at the Central States Show in April 2010.  The higher (Overton) numbered 1810s are much harder to find in high grade than those attributed O.101-102-103.   Estimate:  $1,200 to $1,500
