1815/2 - O.101 R.1 NGC XF 40
From the collection of Jerome Zonca. “The Queen,” as my late colleague Stu Keen used to say of this date. Deeply toned with just enough meat to support the grade. Luster fights its way through the patina in a few areas. Modest striking weaknesses plague the issue. On this example the tip of Liberty’s bust and top of the left wing are forgivably shallow. Is it time to fill that gaping hole in your date set? From Heritage’s June 2018 Long Beach Sale, lot 3952 at $5,280. Estimate: $4,500 to $5,500
