Lot Description

THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS HOARD OF RATTLERS A beautiful example of this date and grade. Mostly a rich brick-red color that is enlivened by the strong radial mint brilliance. Mellowing with just a delicate overtone of violet brown, this GEM has a fantastic look. A strong glass reveals a single fleck and a tiny trace of contact, these have no impact on the allure. PCGS 120, NGC 124, CAC 35. There are just 18 graded higher in the designation. On a coin like this, the APRs and the Price Guides bear little resemblance to where bidding will take it. Our estimate will likely prove very conservative when the hammer finally falls. Cert. Number 3058679 PCGS # 2140
