Ex Robinson S. Brown, Jr. A second PCGS AU 58 example of this sought-after variety. Cf. lot 20. The coin was last offered by Heritage in its Dec. 2010 Houston Signature Sale, lot 3645, then in a “fattie” NGC holder and graded MS 62. (I sold the Brown collection in 1995 after having this and other pieces graded by NGC; the NGC labels note the Brown provenance.). An even coat of sunset toning bathes the surfaces. Heritage waxed eloquent, calling the “saturated patina” a “deep peach … with muted blue-green elements.” Whatever. This is a pretty coin, destined for an important die variety, Red Book or Registry Set collection. Please don’t ask where the friction is on this coin. Do ask about using the One-Lot-Only tool, pairing lots 20 and 82.Est. $5,000 and up.
