Lot Description

Ex Charles Link.  A handsome coin to be sure, with antique grey toning and sparkles of iridescence at the peripheries.  Its selling point, however, is the early die state.  For years we have searched for an example of this die pair to show up without its hallmark die break.  This one is close.  Just a feathery line connects the top leaves to the eagle’s left wing.  Est. $450 to $600.
