Lot Description

THE SOMMELIER COLLECTION Ex Twin Leaf Collection, as noted on the insert. Boldly lustrous brown surfaces are wonderfully preserved. The devices are sharply struck up, with full, crisp definition. The surfaces are evenly toned, though there are some minor darker toning spots around stars 2 and 3 and in the dentils at 12:00 on the obverse. Ex. Homer K. Downing; Stack's March 1998 Auction, lot 154, Chris Victor McCawley, March 1998 to Robinson S. Brown; Robinson S. Brown, Jr. Collection, Superior, June 2002, lot 993; Twin Leaf Collection; Stack's Bowers sale of the Twin Leaf Collection, Part 1, July 2015, lot 2585. Lot tags included. PCGS 252, NGC 137, CAC 70. This coin sold for $734 in its last auction appearance. More recently PCGS/CAC examples have sold in the $350 to $500 range, but we think this coin, with its classic, important pedigree, will sell for more. Good luck. Cert. Number 31543933 PCGS # 1892.00
