Ex Keith Davignon and Paul Gerrie. Earlier in the collection of Ed Stout.* Gerrie acquired the coin from MB 45 in August 2017 where I offered these comments on lot 10. Silver-grey with intense luster – unusual for this scarce die pair. Davignon pegged the coin as “one of the best 4 or 5 I’ve seen in 30 years.” The obverse die debuted with and outlived the glamorous 50/UNI reverse. Its new partner displays the full-feathered, crisp detail of a freshly prepared die. Here is an important offering for the die variety collector; it will not go unnoticed. The coin sold for $3,300 nine years ago. Estimate: $3,000 to $4,000. *BHNC member #40, Ed Stout, sold his collection to me in Jan. 2009. He graded this coin “MS 60” and considered it and [one other] to be the highlights of his collection. I leave it to others to find any friction on the coin. Davignon purchased it via private treaty in April 2009.
