1822 -  O.104 R.2 PCGS MS 62 OGH

Fully prooflike reverse.  The obverse is 95% prooflike.  In a word, WOW!  Keith fancies 1822s and I gave him first shot at this coin when selling Don Parsley’s collection last March.  Don and (father-in-law) Al Overton stored their coins in kraft envelopes.  The pale gold patina on this coin probably came from one of those envelopes.  A hint of cabinet friction on Liberty’s cheek accounts for the conservative grade.  The surfaces are free of contact marks.  The strike is superb.

Estimate: $2,000 and up
