Lot Number 19

Ex Keith Davignon.  An old friend.  I purchased this coin for a Pennsylvania collector at B&M’s Nov. 1991 Frontenac Sale.  Lot 3144.  The Frontenac Sale was notable for two reasons.  First, along with a raft of nice coins, the sale included a small consignment from James Brilliant.  The remainder of Brilliant’s awesome collection was featured in B&M’s January 1992 FUN show sale.  Second, a wet-behind-the-ears collector, Keith Davignon, sat in the audience, watching – and learning.  He wondered who the two fellows in the front row were.  Gehring Prouty and I introduced ourselves after the auction.  This coin found its way back to my inventory in September 2002.  Keith, having missed it in 1991, did not repeat his mistake.  The centers are sharply struck.  Blinding luster oozes from the near perfect surfaces.  Keith consigned the coin to MB 44 in January 2017 where it brought $2,568 in a CAC certified PCGS MS 61 OGH.  The Frontenac auction tag accompanies.  

Estimate: $3.000 to $4,000
