Lot Description

More caviar!  R.5’s just don’t come this nice.  Full cartwheel luster – not dazzling, not muted, but all there.  Subtle toning embraces the left obverse field and stars.  The reverse is brighter.  A graze at Liberty’s nose is a solid identifier of this important coin.  I find no record of it appearing at auction.  Recently released from a northeastern collection.  Est. $2,000 to $3,000.
