1820 Curl 2, Sm. Date - O.103 R.1 PCGS MS 62
Ex Dr. Charles Link and Tim Osborne Tim Osborne acquired this important coin in a trade with Dr. Link. The Link provenance is noted on the PCGS label. Dave Olmstead (Alpine Numismatics), now retired, uncovered the coin in 1998. This is its first appearance at auction. Given the provenance, you may correctly assume that the coin is long on eye-appeal. The obverse shimmers with luster and delicate orange peel toning, darker at the rims. The reverse is dove grey with deep, caky luster. Check your AMBPR, then don your bidding shoes! Charlton Meyer’s AU 58 brought $6,600 at this year’s Heritage ANA sale. Yikes!
Estimate: $5,000 and up
