The parade of high quality 1818s concludes with this richly toned mint state example. Cobalt blue electrifies the stars and legend. The centers are deep rose. Luster shimmers beneath the patina. Stack’s/Bowers found a home for this coin in its September 2016 sale where it realized $2,820. Two years later Heritage offered it with a perfunctory description. It sold for a disappointing $2,280. Current Greysheet pricing suggests $3,000 while PCGS optimistically proposes $6,000! Pretty coins bring pretty prices – especially early-date bust halves.
