Lot Description

Another scrumptious coin with a distinguished provenance.  Gehring Prouty acquired it from Henry Hilgard circa1998.  Dick Graham picked it up at the 2000 Philadelphia ANA sale of Prouty’s collection.  In 2010 Graham sold it to the consignor, Keith Davignon.  It would be difficult to string together a more knowledgeable group of collectors.  Each chose well in adding this piece to his collection.  The coin enjoys a protective silver-grey patina, nice surfaces and a healthy dose of vibrant luster.  Est. $1,700 to $2,200.
