1818 - O.109a R.2 PCGS MS 61 [CAC]
Exquisitely and originally toned in iridescent shades of turquoise, aqua and russet. This lovely coin lost its CAC sticker when Turner reholdered it to obtain the Overton attribution on the label. The PCGS cert no. is unchanged, allowing easy confirmation of prior CAC approval. I entered a strong bid for the coin when it appeared in Stack’s/Bowers April 2022 Central States sale of the Abigail Collection, lot 2096. Not strong enough. It took $5,280 to bring it home. Early date bust halves of this caliber are few and far between. The eye appeal rating of this regal 1818 is a solid A.
Estimate: $4,000 to $5,500
