The bust half guru will tell you to pay attention. The O.111 die pair is very, very scarce, 2nd to the R.5 O.115 for this year. Equally important, the crust of antique grey toning proclaims the coin to be original. Weak rims and softly struck devices are products of two worn dies – afflictions that attend many rare die marriages. Don Frederick’s PCGS AU 55 (without a CAC sticker) brought $2,300 thirteen years ago. I have not seen a nicer example at auction since then. From the Kings Park Collection.
