Ex Steve Nomura. Last offered in MB 39, August 2014, lot 85, bringing $4,544. Rose iridescence over silky grey surfaces. I give this one an “A” for eye appeal. Luster was a problem in the inaugural year of the capped bust series. Not here. The cartwheel is strong and complete, obverse and reverse. If we must quibble, the eagle’s head is weakly struck, not unusual for an 1807. Steve Nomura acquired this beauty from your cataloguer as NGC AU 58. The NGC label accompanies. I share Keith Davignon’s recent comment, “… wouldn’t be surprised to see it back in a 58 holder someday. ”Estimate: $4,000 to $5,000
