Lot Description

Ex John Crowley  Auburn toning, obverse and reverse, the legend surrounded by iridescent blue and turquoise.  Luster is more subdued than other AU 58s in the Osborne collection.  The lovely toning and originality of the coin provide adequate compensation.  From your cataloguer at the Atlanta ANA Convention in 2001, part of the notable die variety set assembled by John Crowley.   Estimate: $850 to $1,150
