1817/3 - O.101a R.1 PCGS AU 53 CAC
A scrumptious 1817/3, to be welcomed in a high-grade Red Book or die variety set. The toning and surfaces are first rate. The strike is about as good as it gets for this overdate. I just peeked at Herman’s latest AMBPR. He lists nearly 60(!) 1817/3s sold privately or at auction over the last few years. Exactly 3 carried CAC stickers! (Two AU 55s and an MS 64 that sold for $64,000 in 2014.) A highlight of this sale. Estimate: $3,000 and up
