A high grade, exquisitely-toned example. This is the Dr. Charles Link coin, offered in MB 42, Jan. 2016, lot 9. Scorzafava fought off a half dozen bidders with 5-figure bids, prevailing at $17,050. Dr. Link had plucked the coin from Dave Olmstead’s inventory during the July 2012 ANA Convention in Philadelphia, paying $11,950. The coin is struck from an early state of the dies and features nearly full luster. Traces of friction are confined to Liberty's chin, neck and the top of the eagle's left wing. Bold luster along with delicate rose and gold toning boost the eye appeal to atmospheric levels. The surfaces are virtually free of contact marks. PCGS Registry Set collectors may view this offering as the most important in the sale.Estimate: $14,000 to $17,000
