Ex Gehring Prouty. Dazzling luster showcases the exceptionally strong strike on this early die state.The obverse is lightly toned while the reverse features alluring shades of iridescent gunmetal blue/grey. A truly choice example, worthy of a first-rate date or type set. This was Lot 2 in my June 2001 MB Sale No. 26. The coin was withdrawn when it mysteriously disappeared before the auction closed. Keith Davignon was at the ready when I located the coin and offered it for private sale. Prouty acquired the coin at Stack’s October 1991 Alto II, Part 1 auction sale, lot 766 @ $2,750. Est. $5,000 to $6,000
