详细说明

A Red Bookstaple with too much luster for the assigned grade.  The bodacious obverse glows with sunset colors; the reverse is similar, a touch more modest because of (the usual) weakness at the eagle’s head and left wing.  XF and AU examples of the “R.1” E over A are devilishly hard to find.  I see but one or two a year.  An old friend from MB 41, August 2015, lot 30 – reappearing in Heritage’s Feb. 2020 Long Beach Sale, lot 7319 as O.108, bringing $1,200.   Estimate: $1,100 to $1,400
