Lot Description

Ex Gehring Prouty and Keith Davignon. Ex Stack’s June 1977 Connecticut Art Museum Sale, lot 281 as Mint State.  A last-minute consignment from Keith Davignon.  The coin is breathtaking, featuring a glossy crust of “museum” toning, with halos of golden iridescence.  Maybe a little cabinet friction under the toning.  Maybe not.  Prouty and Davignon found the coin irresistible.  You will too.   Estimate: $1,800 to $2,500
