详细说明

There were two 1812/1 die marriages, O-101 with the Large 8 in the date, and O-102 with the Small 8. While both are popular, the Large 8 is more so, being a solid Rarity-5 die pair. To be a separate Red Book variety, and a Rarity-5 die marriage, means that there are multiple levels of demand from both date and Red Book variety collectors, as well as die variety specialists, especially those in the Bust Half Nut Club. The present XF45 is the later die state, struck from a shattered obverse die. Both sides have a warm brilliance retained in the fields. While a strong glass reveals a few very minor hairlines from an ancient wiping, they are not serious enough to preclude grading by PCGS. Delicate peripheral toning suggests time spent in an album. A few very minor ticks are noted, including a small dig near star 8. The eye appeal, and RARITY make for a superb coin for the collector. Ex. Harry Laibstain, via private sale to our consignor, June 2015. PCGS 8, NGC 0. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $22,800 in the 2019 FUN auction. Prior to that, the only other XF45 to sell was the Douglas Noblet coin sold in Bowers & Merena's January 1999 Rarities Sale! The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $25,000. Note: we sold the Rocky Top-Link-Konstantine PCGS AU50 in our September 2018 Regency Auction for $31,725. It is also interesting to note that the D. Brent Pogue Collection, noted for its near completeness of Red Book varieties, lacked an 1812/1 Large 8. An extremely important opportunity for the collector. These rarely appear in auction! Good luck. Cert. Number 32443380 PCGS # 6102.00
