Lot Description

B-1, BB-142. Well defined devices and problem free fields show light wear on the high points. Rich, deep toning shows amber, gold, and slate blue-gray toning from longtime storage, probably in an old paper envelope or leather pouch. The eye appeal is superior to many in this grade. This obverse die was used to strike all three overdate varieties, and is the first of two reverses with 13 stars above the eagle on the reverse. PCGS 20, NGC 2, CAC 6. Only one PCGS/CAC has ever sold in auction, back in November 2012, realizing $5,605. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $5,200 and we think this coin will bring a strong price, as rarely do you see early dollars like this with such originality! Cert. Number 84347328 PCGS # 6884
