The Holy Grail for those who collect the reeded edge series.  (Yes, in this grade, more valuable than an 1836; check your AMBPR.  Allow me to ignore the 1838-O.)  Last appearing in my January 2019 price list of Howard Sharfman’s top rated Registry Set.  Tim was the first to act.  A crust of pale gold bespeaks originality.  Luster smolders under the toning.  The coin left short-term circulation unscathed.  Its surfaces befit the grade.  Mid to late die state, with an assortment of die breaks, obverse and reverse.  Honor the urge to stretch for this charismatic issue of the New Orleans Mint.   Estimate: $7,500 and up
