A beautifully toned, high-grade example of this charismatic rarity. Tim Osborne acquired it from David Kahn in 2012. Tim consigned it to MB 54, lot 29, August 2022. Fierce competition ensued, ending with John Torres’ (The Tower Collection) winning bid of $6,765. The heavy, bisecting obverse die break mimics damage and has led more than one cataloguer astray. High grade pieces are rare. Herrman posts a Condition Census that includes but one mint state coin, with an AU 53 at #5. Here is a pretty AU. For once the obverse is the favored side, blessed with a halo of iridescent turquoise toning.Estimate: $4,000 to $5,000
