Overton Plate Coin. Exquisitely detailed central devices. Untoned, with mildly reflective surfaces and even, soft luster. This was Al Overton’s set piece, plated in his 1970 2nd edition and in Don Parsley’s 3rd, 4th and 5th revised editions. Don found a better example circa 1990, shortly after the publication of his 3rd revised edition. He consigned this coin to MB 5 in August 1991, where it was acquired by John Crowley. (In July 1993 Don and Bonnie Parsley sold the entire Overton Collection, with a fancier 1831 O.111, to its current owner.) Crowley consigned this coin to MB 27 in April 2002, where it brought $1,120. It last appeared at auction in January 2020 (MB 50, lot 91). Auction tags and Don Parsley’s personal tag accompany the lot. This is a RARE opportunity to acquire an Overton Plate Coin. Est. $1,000 and up.
