Lot Description

Ex Olin “Ole” Carter. You will be hard pressed to find a prettier XF 45.  Album toningexplains the colorful halo of iridescent colors.  Hues of pale gold cloak the centers.  Luster glows throughout.  Circulation ticks, none of any consequence, confirm a short-term tour in commerce.  Ole Carter assisted me at coin shows throughout the 1980s and 1990s.  We lost him to a heart attack in 2005.  He was a noted cherry picker, capped by his discoveries of the rare 1823 O.113 and 1825 O.118.  At the request of his widow, I sold most of his coins a few years later.  This `22-104 sold privately in 2008.  Estimate: $300 to $400
