1829 -  O.118 R.5 PCGS XF 40


Long dormant, this die pair awoke with an R.5 rarity rating after intense study by the BHNC, a far cry from Al Overton’s suggestion of R.1.  Its rarity is reflected by a pair of XF 45s offered in MB 47 (lot 95, 8/18 @ $1,650) and MB 56 (lot 73, 8/23 @ $2,420).  Here is a wholesome example, nicely toned with modest wear and an engaging dose of luster.  Problem-free surfaces.  Off the market since 2002, the coin was encapsulated for the first time this year, now making its inaugural appearance at auction.   Estimate: $1,200 to $1,500
