Ex Dave Rutherford, who acquired the coin in Bowers & Merena’s September 1995 sale, lot 543. Last offered in MB 33, lot 14, August 2007, bringing $2,420. This was my description. A gossamer veil of kraft toning blankets smooth, fully lustrous surfaces. Strongly detailed portrait, full rims, etc. make this offering a nifty coin for the date or type collector. The swirling obverse die breaks add character. The strike is remarkable: Liberty’s curls, cap and drapery are 3-dimensional. The same is true of the eagle’s feathers and talons. Estimate: $2,000 to $2,500.
