1829 - O.104 Prime R.5 PCGS AU 50
A die-state rarity. Most 104s come with die chips in A1 and A2, filling the area above the crossbar. Herrman lists only 1 other AU, the Jules Reiver coin, NGC AU 55. Dr. Charles Link’s PCGS XF 45 brought $963 in my MB Sale No. 50 at the Jan. 2020 FUN Show sale, lot 83. Dave Kahn discovered this coin and sold it to Tim in Oct. 2009. Original light to medium grey toning and soft luster grace the surfaces. Estimate: $900 to $1,200
