Ex Louis Eliasberg.   Lot 1840 of the April 1997 Eliasberg Sale, as a raw “MS 60.”  Classic look of an Eliasberg bust-half: silver-grey with flashes of iridescence.  Lovely surfaces, full luster and a trace of friction on the cheek.  The coin comes with a majestic provenance.  JRCS founder, Russ Logan, was the winning bidder.  It thereafter passed to BHNC stalwarts Mike Summers, Dave Kahn and Dick Graham.  The present consignor acquired it at my January 2013 sale of the Graham Collection.  

Estimate: $2,000 to $3,000
