详细说明

As pretty as the photo suggests.  This is one of the more important coins in the sale.  The O.102 die marriage has passed the test of time.  It is distinctly rare in all grades, scandalously so in high grade.    AU examples with strong eye appeal may be counted on the fingers of one hand.  And you won’t need all your fingers.  PCGS shows one other piece graded AU 58, the Davignon coin, ex Link.  This coin is another rarity from the earlier-mentioned eastern collection [lots 54, 59 and 63].  Original, antique pale rose toning is highlighted by intense, iridescent album toning through the stars and legend.  This is a match for the NGC AU 55 CAC example that brought $5,528 in my Jan. 2014 FUN Sale, MB 38, lot 44.  Est. $4,000 to $6,000.
