1828 Sm. Letters Reverse - O.119 R.3 PCGS MS 63 CAC
Ex George Hamilton.This prize is from Heritage’s sale of the Hamilton collection (Part 2) in September 2016. Lot 4055 was then housed in an old green label PCGS holder. The rarity (in high grade) and quality of this Red Book variety (the only small letters reverse of the year) fomented a bidding storm. Scorzafava brought it home with a winning bid of $7,931. The PCGS label had an incorrect code. To qualify for Registry Set listing it had to be reholdered. Thus the current cert number differs from 2016. Scrumptious antique toning graces this museum-quality coin. Bold luster, a first-rate strike and impeccable surfaces complete the picture. The coin, no doubt, is among the 10 or so finest known of its ilk. Estimate: $6,500 to $8,000
