1814 E/A -  O.108a R.1 PCGS AU 55 CAC


Ex Jules Reiver, as noted on the PCGS label.    This lot will be one of the most sought-after in the sale.  Though merely “R.1,” the 1814 E/A is devilishly hard to find in AU and nearly impossible in Mint State.  This example, with a celebrated provenance, is ablaze with luster.  Traces of golden toning run through portions of the stars and legend.  Clash marks abound, adding character to a marvelous remnant of the early Mint.  The coin is essentially as struck, without faults and only a whisper of friction.  NGC graded the coin AU 58 before Heritage offered it as lot 22731 in its historic Jan. 2006 sale of the Reiver Collection.  Keith Davignon was the savvy buyer.  Jules Reiver’s 2x2 white envelope with handwritten notes accompanies the lot.  Est. $4,500 and up
