Lot Description

Ex Don Frederick, last offered during the 2016 ANA Convention, MB 43, lot 27, where it brought $5,170.  The winning bidder recently captured an UNC 1817/3 and graciously consigned this glorious piece to the current sale.  Here is the description from MB 43: From the Don Frederick Collection, noted on the PCGS label.  Frederick had several examples of this overdate.  This was his favorite, holding forth as his set-piece.  Scandalous original toning features electric shades of turquoise, blue, gold, copper and antique grey.  This is “wow” coin for eye appeal.  The undisturbed surfaces are essentially without flaws.  It took $3,737 to bring it home in April 2010.  (Heritage Central States sale, lot 2974.)  It will cost more today – and be well worth it!  Est. $4,500 to $5,500.
