详细说明

The O-125 is one of the more available die marriages from the 32 die marriages listed by Overton, considered to be Low Rarity-4. This die pairing is identified by the placement of stars 1 and 15, piercing the curl and attached to the tip of the bust respectively, and the placement of the berries on the reverse. The Tompkins Condition Census goes 64,63,63,63,62. Sharply struck on both sides, particularly at the central devices. The right stars show some softness at the centers. The wear is extremely light, limited to the slightest friction on the highest points of the design. The obverse has a frosty luster with a warm dove-pewter overtone and accents of pale gold. The reverse is virtually untoned and impressively lustrous with a strong silver brilliance. There are a few very minor planchet flaws on the obverse, mostly obscured by and blended into the toning. This planchet was clearly overweight when it was prepared with lots of adjustment marks seen but relegated to the periphery. There is some roughness seen at the central reverse, noted for accuracy, likely a result of die failure. The eye appeal of this AU example is quite pleasing. Purchased privately from NFC in October 2016. PCGS 1, NGC 1. Neither has sold in auction. Recently we sold a PCGS AU58 CAC for $39,950 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $32,500. Remarkably there are 35 examples graded in Mint State at PCGS finer than the AU58+ offered here. As a 58+ this is the ultimate coin for a top tier Everyman Type Set and we expect this coin will see strong bidding. Cert. Number 81909765 PCGS # 6052.00
