1795 50C O-113a A over E in STATES MS (PCGS#39254)

The Regency Auction 47

详细说明: Ex Link Collection, as noted on the insert. Another really neat engraving error, the O-113 die marriage is identified by the A in STATES being punched over an incorrectly punched E. Struck from the later "a" state of the dies, the obverse shows numerous breaks and cracks. The present AU55 is within the Tompkins Census (64,63,60,55,55) and above the Overton Census (45,40,35,30,25), clearly this is among the highest graded examples. Nicely preserved and colorfully toned. Peripherally toned with antique silver-gray patina at the center of the obverse, and pastel iridescence on the reverse. Somewhat bluntly struck, a result of the later die state. There are a few small ticks and lines, naturally occurring from this brief time in commercial channels, they do not detract. The fields have a pleasant pearly/satiny texture which aids in bringing out the vivid color. The eye appeal is exceptionally nice. Ex FUN Auction, Heritage, January 2007, lot 950; intermediaries; Dr. Charles Link Collection; our consignor, via private treaty, November 2020. PCGS 3, NGC 2. This coin sold in auction last time over 14 years ago, clearly the price realized is irrelevant today. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $23,500. There are just two graded finer, a 62 and a 64 (neither of which has sold in auction for ages). This is a wonderful example, one that will delight any specialist or type collector. Good luck. Cert.
