1830 Sm.0 - O.112a R.4+ PCGS AU 55 CAC
Ex Dr. Charles Link, noted on the PCGS label. The 112a has been flying under the radar. Fewer than 10 examples are listed in Herrman’s recent AMBPR, none higher than AU 53. (An MS 62 example was offered but did not sell in Jan. 2000.) This is a connoisseur’s coin. A beguiling crust of antique toning protects the surfaces. Friction is limited to Liberty’s cheek and to the eagle’s wing tips. The fields lack any signs of disturbance. Do not let this important coin pass unnoticed. Est. $1,200 to $1,500.
