- From the Charles Link Collection. Here is a spectacular coin - and condition rarity of the first order. High grade, attractive examples of the 1807 small and large star varieties are devilishly hard to find. Auction prices have taken a logarithmic jump over the past few years, with gem examples currently selling for $130,000 to $150,000. Here is an exquisite example of the Large Stars variety. Struck from an early state of the dies, the coin features nearly full luster. Traces of friction are confined to Liberty's chin and neck and the top of the eagle's left wing. Delicate rose and gold toning enhances the eye appeal. The surfaces, ever-so-delicately wiped, are virtually free of contact marks. PCGS Registry Set collectors may view this offering as the most important in the sale. Dr. Link acquired the coin in 2012 from now retired dealer Dave Olmstead. Est. $14,000 and up. (Maybe way up!)
