Lot Description

Delicate blue and silver toning graces the obverse of this magnificent coin.  The reverse, draped in a protective blanket of “grey dirt,” proclaims the coin’s originality.  With magnification, a few contact marks are seen.  I doubt the coin ever entered circulation.  My only criticism is the PCGS label.  It mistakenly reads small 9. Estimate: $2,500 to $3,000
