Ex Elton Dosier. Al Overton rated the marriage R.3 in 1971. I recall a discussion with Elton Dosier in the 1990s when he suggested R.4 was the better guess. The Nut Club and Don Parsley agree. The latest indication is R.4+. This coin was Dosier’s set piece. Although he preferred well struck, early die states, he loved the look and originality of the coin. A sticker on the reverse of the slab discloses a sale in January 1998, 10 months after Dosier’s passing. I do not recall who bought it. I hope the buyer will preview the lot and remind me. He has my respect as a connoisseur of bust coinage. Estimate: $500 to $700.
