Lot Description

An aristocratic patina of deep grey toning subdues the luster. The more lightly toned reverse is less obtrusive. The strike is absolutely first rate. This Red Book staple carries auction records that belie its R.2 rarity rating. The only other CAC approved AU 58 I find was sold by Heritage at the 2012 Summer Fun Show; lot 3690 brought $2,300. Roger Solomon's PCGS AU 58 commanded $3,025 at my Aug. 2011 ANA Sale (lot 42). You've been warned! Est. $1750 to $2,500.
