Ex Gehring Prouty and Keith Davignon. Ex Stack’s June 1977 Connecticut Art Museum Sale, lot 281 as Mint State. A last-minute consignment from Keith Davignon. The coin is breathtaking, featuring a glossy crust of “museum” toning, with halos of golden iridescence. Maybe a little cabinet friction under the toning. Maybe not. Prouty and Davignon found the coin irresistible. You will too. Estimate: $1,800 to $2,500
