- Ex Henry Hilgard, Gehring Prouty and Dick Graham, last appearing in MB 27, lot 38, April 2002. One of the more important coins in this sale, pushing hard on the Condition Census. Gehring Prouty pried obtained it from Henry Hilgard on Sept. 23, 1994. The coin was “raw.” Henry and Gehring simply graded it “UNC.” I suggested “Choice Unc.” when cataloging it, still raw, for MB 27. Dick Graham was the winner. He passed it to the consignor after it visited the grading room at PCGS. The coin features lovely surfaces, with rich antique grey toning and a blush of rose iridescence. The eye appeal argues for a higher grade. Drawn stars and soft rims, inherent in the variety, may have tempered the PCGS grade. The sophisticated eye, however, will recognize the virtual gem quality of this veryimportant coin. Prouty's handwritten notes on the coin accompany the lot. Est. $4,500 to $5,500.
