Lot Description

Ex Link as noted on the holder. Clearly in the Condition Census for the variety, and the FINEST O-106 ever sold in auction. While the Overton Census lists a 67 and a 66 finer, neither has ever appeared in auction and may or may not exist. What is clear is this GEM is the finest you are likely to bid on. Boldly frosted luster glows in the fields and around the devices. Sharply struck and richly toned. Soft pewter and pearly hues that show accents of lilac, gold, and olive-tan. The eye appeal is very high end, especially for an 1830! PCGS 27, NGC 10, CAC 11. The most recent example to sell was in our December 2017 Regency Auction for $16,450. Prior to that, the Earle-Eliasberg-Gardner O-101 sold in May 2015 for $17,625. With only seven coins graded finer, for the Small 0 Red Book variety, we know this GEM will bring a lot of attention from type, date, and variety collectors. Good luck! Cert.
