1814 50C E/A AU50 认证号10302220, PCGS号6107

O-108a (108.5), from Sheridan Downey where he described as "The silver-grey toning is original; luster flows across the fields. PCGS cannot resist downgrading this die state because of striking weakness. Beware the R.1 rarity designation. High grade examples of this Red Book staple are rare."

The 1814 E/A is very difficult to find in AU58 or better. A few years ago when I was putting together the PREMIUM set of CBHs I was trying to find an AU58 example of every Registry set variety. At that time the pop for the E/A was two in 58 and none better save a single MS64. Even though I had a nice AU55 example, I had all but given up hope that I would every locate one of the AU58 pieces. Then on the opening day of the Houston Money show a gentleman walked up to our table and said " I have something that Don may be interested in." Sure enough, it was an 1814 E/A in AU58! Trying to remain calm, I asked what he wanted for it. His reply was that I would have a better idea what it was worth. So I looked it up on all the price guides and then told him I thought they were all too low. We agreed on a slightly higher price and it was mine!
