- FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART II. The Dale Friend "Ugly 3" ranks at the lower end of the Condition Census for the variety. This is another 1823 die marriage where the later die state is a distinctive Red Book type; the early state has a perfect 3 in the date, as the die began to show signs of fatigue, including a crack near the 3 of the date, that digit became misshapen. Whether or not a mint employee reworked the 3 after (as happened on the O-101) or not, the 3 became ragged and ugly. The present example is quite pleasing and original looking overall. The surfaces are richly toned in a deep russet-pewter with accents of teal and azure toning, especially on the reverse. Nicely struck, the devices show a bold sharpness. The late die state shows two circular reverse die cracks. The surfaces are clean and free. The eye appeal is quite pleasing. Ex Heritage, July 2003, lot 7436 (as NGC MS64); intermediaries; Dale Friend Collection; Heritage, January 2020, lot 4201 (unsold); Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 7, NGC 0. The most recent PCGS MS63 was the CAC approved example Hamilton-Chicago piece we sold in September 2021 for $22,325. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $23,000. This impressive coin will see strong bidding. Good luck. Cert. Number 35594654 PCGS # 6134
