Lot Description

Richly toned in iridescent shades of antique grey, rose, turquoise and gold.  Smooth surfaces, cartwheel luster, trivial weakness in the left wing spawned an 1809 with champion eye appeal.  Tim persuaded Dr. Tom Sears to sell him the coin in December 2014, a welcome Christmas present.   Estimate: $2,000 to $2,500
