Lot Description

Ex Dr. Gerald Schertz.  The combination of delightful rose and gold toning and exceptional luster earned this 1812 a CAC sticker.  Tim acquired it in July 1994 when selections from two notable die variety collections were offered in Mail Bid Sale #12.  This was lot 24, part of Dr. Gerald Schertz’ collection.  (Ivan Leaman, DDS was the other major consignor.)  Dr. Schertz’ notes confirmed a 1983 acquisition but not the source.  Wear is confined to the high points; there are virtually no signs of contact with other coins. Estimate:  $800 to $1,100
