详细说明

A wonderful example of this established rarity.  Natural, medium grey toning, lighter on the devices.  Mark-free surfaces are especially refreshing on an O.113.  The “rim pinch” over Liberty’s cap is the result of the. planchet failing to complete a full rotation in the Castaing machine.  (The edge lettering device was also responsible for raising a rim on blank planchets.)  The Sears-Osborne XF 40 in MB 51, lot 20 brought $2,815 last year.  We should expect this one to bring at least half of that.   Estimate: $1,000 to $1,500
