1826 - O.102 R.1 PCGS OGH AU 50
The Old Green Label dates to Oct. 1989, when Tim won the coin in a Teletrade auction. Teletrade was inaugurated in 1986 by Bernard Rome as a vehicle for bidding on certified coins using a telephone touchpad. In 2013 it was acquired by the Spectrum Group and merged with Stack’s-Bowers. This untoned 1826 sports luster that will do justice to today’s AU 58s. A bit of friction on the cheek and minuscule, scattered hairlines kept the coin away from an MS designation. Estimate: $450 to $600
