Lot Number 33

Ex Dick Graham, Keith Davignon and Dr. Charles Link   Veterans of the bust-half die variety wars have long appreciated the rarity of this die pair.  Charlton Meyer could do no better than a polished AU.  Don Frederick coveted an AU example that Dr. Link acquired in the April 2010 Heritage sale of Frederick’s collection.  Link’s hunt for an uncirculated `31-117 ended in September 2013 when he prevailed upon Keith Davignon to part with this coin.  Davignon picked it up when Dick Graham (author of the standard text on reeded edge bust halves) sold his collection.  The coin is essentially as struck, flaunting a lovely café au lait patina.  It lies no worse than #3 in the Condition Census, tied with the Frontenac specimen sold in 1991.  

Estimate: $3,000 and up
