1809 III Edge - O.107 R.2 PCGS MS 61
From Heritage’s January 2017 FUN Show Sale, lot 4202, at $4,935, where described, in part: The surfaces have a reflective, semi-prooflike sheen and the strike is sharp except at stars 5 to 7 and the top fold of Liberty's cap. The reverse displays similar reflective fields…. The wing detail and feathers are razor-sharp. Mottled shades of reddish-gold, blue, lilac, and olive-green combine with bright mint luster for a delightful, colorful patina. Examination with a loupe reveals a couple of distracting hairlines (under the toning) alongside stars 6-7 and down Liberty’s cap to her cheek. Still, a very pretty coin! Estimate: $3,000 to $4,000
