1826 -  116 R.1 PCGS AU 55 CAC

Silver-grey toning with strong, unbroken luster in the fields and across the devices.  Tim carried the coin as O.116a though it lacks a die break through stars 8-13.  Not important.  The coin is well struck and a choice example of the die pair.  Cherry pickers know this obverse: the die line above star 7 is a key to the rare 1826 O.115.  From Sonny Toupard in October 1991.  

Estimate: $600 to $750
