The Regency Auction 51

详细说明: FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART I. This CONDITION CENSUS B-4, BB-232 comes from one of the greatest name sales of the mid-20th century, The Davis-Graves Collection! This coin matches exactly the photo of that April 1954 sale and it is indeed a fabulous coin! A wealth of luster rolls boldly over the surfaces of this essentially CHOICE early dollar. The strike is bold, nearly complete throughout the design. The surfaces ooze with originality, wonderful old gold and rose overtones mingle with ancient lilac, tan, and pearly-silver undertones. There are some old stray marks and light lines seen with the aid of a strong glass, well hidden under the toning, only visible when rotated in a light. Ex George L. Graves Collection, collected prior to 1891; Stack's sale of the Davis-Graves Collection, April 1954, lot 1326; unknown intermediaries; Heritage, March 2010, lot 1204; D. Brent Pogue Collection, Stack's Bowers, March 2017, lot 5039; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 2. This coin brought $39,950 in March 2017 and $46,000 back in 2010. The market is stronger today than it was in 2017 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $47,500. We note that an MS63 sold in our September 2021 sale of the Eric H. Templeton Collection for $70,500. This beautiful early dollar with a fantastic pedigree, is worthy of another world class cabinet. Bid accordingly. Cert. Number 85155764 PCGS # 6898
