1835 - O.104 R.4- PCGS MS 62
Ex Dick Graham and Keith Davignon. A scarce die pair, likely among the top 5 or 6 known. From my 2019 Chicago ANA Sale, MB 49, lot 100, that featured coins from the collections of Doug Noblet and Keith Davignon. Dick Scorzafava triumphed at $2,860 in a battle with two collectors from the Northwest. This piece was from the Davignon Collection. I tendered these thoughts: “… an archetype of grey-dirt. The patina showcases underlying luster and is blessed with a diaphanous hue of sea-green on the reverse. Davignon acquired the coin from my offering of Dick Graham’s collection during the January 2013 FUN Show. His comment about the coin is brief and to the point: “Beautiful original skin.” Estimate $2,000 to $2,500.
