Ex Dr. Charles Link and Paul Gerrie.Virtual perfection! Frosty mint luster coats this near gem coin. Colorful iridescent toning accents stars 8-13 and the adjoining field. Despite a later die state, the central devices are sharply impressed. Note, especially, Liberty’s curls and the eagle’s feathers and claws. The coin vies with the Overton Plate coin and two others for finest know of this important variety. The reverse die, with beads rather than elongated dentils, appears on the crushed lettered edge proofs of 1833, 1834 and 1835. The Link provenance appears on the PCGS label. We may assume that Paul Gerrie acquired the coin from Dr. Link in a private transaction. It last appeared in Heritage’s August 2024 sale of the Gerrie Collection.Please ignore scuffs on the PCGS holder: back of cap, obverse; through UNITED, reverse. Estimate: $5,000 and up
