Lot 280
1826. Overton-102, Rarity 1. NGC graded MS-65. Nicely toned with classic lilac and tawny silver-gray throughout, the classic toning seen on many of the Eliasberg coins that had been stored in downtown Baltimore for many decades. The surfaces are satin smooth, with ample luster peeking out from beneath the toning. The strike is a trifle soft on the left side stars, but sharp enough elsewhere, particularly on Liberty's cascading curls down her back. One of the top five known for this variety and a handsome and well pedigreed example for the specialist. Pop 2; none finer at NGC for the variety. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000
