The parade of luscious 1821s concludes with this stunning piece from the George Hamilton collection. Heritage presented Hamilton’s bust halves in two parts, at the August 2016 ANA Convention in Anaheim and at its October 2016 Dallas sale. Hamilton was a steady customer and winning bidder of top quality coins in my auctions and private sales in the 1980s. He acquired this coin during the February 1989 Washington/Baltimore show when it was offered by Vintage Auctions as NGC MS 62. The Hinkelmans spotted it at Heritage’s October 2016 Dallas sale and took it home at $2,468. It was crossed and upgraded at PCGS, approved by CAC, then sold privately to Scorzafava. The coin is without faults. The strike, luster, surfaces and antique toning bespeak originality. Here is a very special 1821!Estimate: $3,000 to $3,500
