1814 E/A - O.108 Prime R.? PCGS AU 58
A 2nd die-state rarity. Check out your 1814 E/A. Is the eagle’s head weakly struck? Are there die breaks on the obverse and reverse? Your answer is probably yes. (And your coin is probably not AU 58!) This offering comes with a fully struck eagle’s head, no clash marks and no die breaks, a consummate rarity as such. The coin is brilliant and untoned. Herrman notes the appearance of but two 1814 E/As (in all die states) graded AU 58 by PCGS over the past 4 years. They brought $5,520 and $8,225. (An NGC AU 58 sold for $4,560 in 2019.) You may be certain that the striking characteristics of those coins were no match for this offering. Estimate: $5,500 and up
