Lot Description

Ex Elton Dosier and Charlton E. Meyer, Jr.   Extravagant luster embraces the fully lustrous surfaces.  I remember the day Elton Dosier found this coin.  He commented on the strike, telling me that the O.110 was especially difficult to find well struck.  This one, he said, was the best he had ever seen.  Sometime after Elton passed away in early 1997, Charlton Meyer put in a call for the coin.  Tim found it in my bourse case (along with the upcoming two lots) at the January 2009 FUN Show.  Wispy hairlines will be seen under a glass, too few to alter PCGS’s or CAC’s assessment of this remarkable coin.  The Meyer provenance is shown on the PCGS label.   Estimate: $1,200 to $1,500
