Description du lot

From the Charles Link Collection; so noted on the PCGS label.  A “wow” coin, sanctified by a wash of rose and gold toning, turning to deep, iridescent blue at the rims.  The strike is excellent.  The dies, still early in life, retain distinct remnants of the underlying 0, left and right of the over-punched 1.  The `11 over `10, though a “common” die pair, is spectacularly difficult in high grade.  PCGS has taken note, suggesting a retail value of $6,250.  Here is an example with runaway potential.   Acquired from a private collector in July 2013.  Est. $5,500 and up.
