Lot Description

Ex Russ Logan, as noted on the PCGS label.  Logan disdained slabs.  He kept his coins in kraft paper envelopes.  This lovely piece is blessed with a subtle gold and rose patina, confirmation of its provenance.  The surfaces and bold luster are exactly what we expect of the assigned grade.  The central devices are crisp save for the ubiquitous soft drapery lines.  From Bowers & Merena’s Nov. 2002 Logan-Steinberg sale, lot 2490.  Est. $900 to $1,300.
