1827 Sq. Base 2 - O.116 R.4 PCGS AU 58 CAC
A fantastic coin. Original to its core. My favorite coin in the Osborne consignment. The O.116 was a mid-level R.5 for many years. Quality examples such as this are supremely rare. The immaculate surfaces and antique toning are to die for. The coin lay in a New England Museum for decades, surfacing in Stack’s/Bowers’ May 2013 New Orleans National Money Show sale (lot 337) along with a few other stunning bust half-dollars. Tim found the coin irresistible and was happy to land it at $5,140! If you are coming to FUN don’t fail to preview this coin. Estimate: $3,500 and up
