Dick pounced in 2017 when I posted this little beauty on my Fixed Price List. Nine years earlier it appeared in Heritage’s August 2008 ANA Sale, without an affirming CAC sticker. The winning bidder was a veteran die variety collector and BHNC member. His notes on the purchase survive: What a wonderful addition! Fantastic surfaces and unquestionably original. I wish my whole collection looked like this one. I added my own thoughts, “Immaculate surfaces and a whisper of friction suggest a + grade for this beauty. The real appeal of the coin, however, rests with its sultry, antique grey patina, glowing with soft red and gold iridescence.” Estimate: $1,000 to $1,200.
