Ex Olin Carter. Attractive grey toning, the stars and legend with rose and gold highlights. Luster at the peripheries and through the reverse fields, belies the grade. PCGS was too much influenced by the generally soft impression, typical of this rare die pair. Carter carried the coin in its raw state as XF 40 after purchasing it from me in 1989. Senior BHNC members recall “Olie” as the genial collector with a handlebar mustache who assisted me at the Long Beach shows throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, as well as a couple of ANA Conventions. He is, perhaps, best known as a consummate cherry-picker; he discovered the R.6+ 1823 O.113 and R.7 1825 O.118. No new capped bust variety has surfaced since Olie found the `25-118 in 1983.Est. $700 to $900.
