A majestic XF 40. Richard Pugh wrested the coin from my bourse case at the June 1988 Long Beach Show. It next appeared, still raw, in Superior’s May/June 1992 sale of the Pugh collection (lot 880). I represented 15 bidders at the sale. Three of them coveted this coin. Ralph Fox prevailed with a (then) hefty bid of $660. When Fox asked me to sell his collection at the January 2004 FUN Show our current consignor was at the ready. Years later he had the coin graded by PCGS and obtained CAC’s green seal of approval. Luster brightens the stars and surrounds the devices. The toning and surfaces bespeak originality. How nice that a coin of this quality is also the “stopper” in assembling a die variety set of 1808s. Estimate: $1,000 and up
