1818 -  O.104"b" R.5 PCGS MS 63


A panoply of die cracks portends the demise of the obverse die.  Herrman suggests R.5 for this die state (unknown to and not described by Overton).  Pale gold toning encases this lustrous rarity.  Caky luster abounds.  This coin was not known to your cataloguer or Heritage when we described the somewhat darkly toned Link-Osborne coin, also PCGS MS 63, in 2021 (MB 52 lot 75) and August 2024 (Heritage lot 3391).  Each of us touted that coin as finest known.  Here is a match – with first rate eye appeal.  Acquired at the July 1993 Baltimore Show.  

Estimate: $4,000 to $5,000
