1812 -  O.106 R.3 PCGS AU 58 CAC

Ex Troy Nelson (Allgood Collection).  Later die state, hallmarked by the worn obverse die and a prodigious reverse die break.  This die pair is very difficult to find in higher grades.  To their credit PCGS and CAC focused on the bold luster and pleasing surfaces rather than punishing the coin for its striking weaknesses.  Ex Heritage 2011 Jan. FUN Show Sale, lot 3629 @ $3,220.  Est. $3,000 to $3,750.
