1825 -  O.101 R.1 PCGS OGH AU 58

Blazing luster erupts from the brilliant obverse.  The reverse sports a delicate blanket of pale rose.  The surfaces are free of hairlines.  I fail to see even a hint of friction, just a few marks from contact with other coins.  I’d expect an MS 61 or 62 grade if PCGS were asked to reconsider its too modest grade.  

Estimate: $1,300 to $1,800
