1827 Sq. Base 2 -  O.130 R.3 PCGS OGH AU 55 CAC

Another aspirant to AU 58 that somehow fell short in the dark ages of 3rd party grading.  The green PCGS label is a warning sign.  The green CAC sticker is confirmation.  Silver toning with a hint of gold.  I prefer Tim’s depiction, “butterscotch.”  Luster is unbroken in the fields.  Friction is confined to Liberty’s breast.  From a Stack’s-Bowers auction, September 2011.    

Estimate: $800 to $1,100
