Description du lot

The O-102 is easily identified by a row of "segments" under the scroll. This CHOICE Mint State example ranks in the Condition Census of the variety. Die cracks running parallel around the date are key to identifying the O-102a die state. Choice and original, both sides have a warm lustrous glow that radiates from under a layer of lovely pastel iridescence. Aside from a touch of weakness at the left wing, the details are very nicely rendered from an exacting blow from the dies. Aside from a few unobtrusive tiny marks, appropriate for the assigned grade, this CHOICE example has the initial eye appeal of an even higher grade. Ex. Hamilton Collection, Part IV, Heritage, November 2016, lot 5265; Harry Laibstain, to our consignor via private treaty sale, January 2017. PCGS 13, NGC 16, CAC 3. This was the most recent example to sell in auction, realizing $9,400 in the above mentioned sale of the Hamilton Collection. Prior to that, one sold for $9,988 in September 2016. Both the CAC CPG value and PCGS Price Guide value are clearly not correct in light of the prices realized in auction, and the infrequency of appearances. Bid accordingly. Cert.
