Losbeschreibung

From the collection of Al C. Overton, as noted on the NGC label. A second offering from the Overton Collection. (See lot 76.) Last appearing in MB 37, Aug. 2013, where I described lot 137 as follows: A lustrous coin with considerable "flash." Probably dipped in the 1960's then stored in an album or paper envelope where it began to take on iridescent toning. There are minor luster breaks in the fields. The rim pinch between stars 1 and 2 is not damage. The planchet simply failed to make a full 180° turn through the Castaing machine. It brought $880 2½ years ago. Est. $700 to $900.
