1828 Curl w/ Knob -  O.106 R.4 PCGS AU 58 CAC


Just 2 of 23 die pairs in 1828 feature a curl 2 with knob.  The 1828 O.107 is reasonably common.  The 1828 O.106, offered here, is decidedly uncommon.   PCGS has attributed and assigned an AU 58 grade to only two from this die pair (along with 3 mint state coins).  Here is a new (to PCGS) example, last seen in August 1983. when offered in Kagin’s ANA Auction, lot 2470 (auction tag accompanies).  The coin is wholly original, beautifully toned, well struck and features immaculate surfaces.  One cannot hope for a finer example at this grade level.  It will be no surprise if this lot receives more bids than any other in the sale.  

Estimate: $3,500 and up
