Lot Number 84

Among rare die pairs of the year, the 1828-111 is just behind the 1828 O.105 and 1828 O.123.  John Torres found the coin in my August 2015 ANA Sale, MB 41, lot 66.  I observed, Light grey with some color and iridescent toning at the peripheries.  Soft luster throughout.  Virtually no marks…. This is a “sleeper” R.4, especially in high grade.  Be willing to stretch your bid.  A plus sign has been added to the rarity rating since then.  The coin brought $1,680 when Heritage sold Torres’ collection a year ago, identifying it as from The Towers Collection.  It should do as well or better today.  Estimate: $1,500 to $2,000.
