Lot Description

From the collection of Dr. Charles Link, noted on the PCGS label.  Outrageous toning will draw oohs and ahs from those previewing the lot.  Luster shimmers beneath a rainbow of iridescent colors.  The surfaces are smooth as glass.  And, yes, this IS an O.111, right behind the 1828 O.105 and 123 in the list of rare 1828’s.  Cherry pickers look for the jagged die break joining the top drapery line to Liberty’s curls.  Herrman identifies three other UNCs, providing assurance that this is a Condition Census offering.  Its rarity in high grade is no secret.  PCGS suggests a value of $4,000 at this level.   Est. $3,000 to $5,000.
