Ex Donald Frederick.Light gold toning over silver-grey surfaces, with iridescent hues at the peripheries. I was delighted to win the coin at the April 2010 Heritage sale of Don Frederick’s important – and nearly complete – die variety collection (lot 3148). Dick acquired it from me in a private transaction. Luster encases the fields and devices, strengthening the coin’s eye-appeal. Don Frederick began his search for rare die marriages in the 1960s. He was a “bloodhound” of the first order, uncovering a few “UPs” (UnPublished varieties) along the way. This `27-123 is the finest example he located in 4 decades of combing bourse floors and auctions. Estimate: $1,200 to $1,500.
