Description du lot

A scarce die state, the O-105a is identified by the lapping of the reverse die that removed all but one of the olive leaves directly below the eagle's left wing. Indeed both sides saw extensive die refinishing to remove clashmarks. A late die state with the stars and letters being drawn to the edge and weak denticulation on both sides. Lightly worn on both sides, the fields retain a hint of a lustrous glow. Scattered ticks and lines from its time in circulation are mostly hidden by the soft gold and iridescent overtone. A very scarce and important coin for the specialist collector. Ex Harry Laibstain, via private sale, September 2020. PCGS 3, NGC 2. The other two PCGS-graded coins are CAC approved, the most recent selling for $3,850 in January 2020. The current Collectors Universe value for the Single Leaf variety is $3,000. This beautiful example should sell for a very strong bid from the specialist collector. Cert. Number 34743428 PCGS # 39481.00
