Owner's Comments

O-115 (115.2); ex-Davignon, from Sheridan Downey MB57 "A third 1822 from Keith’s hoard of fantastic 1822s. I find it hard to believe that he is letting them go. This pristine coin oozes luster beneath a protective layer of antique grey dirt toning. Keith’s wry comment is worth repeating, “Put this one under a halogen lamp and enjoy the show.” He has enjoyed it since March 2012 when it was offered in Stack’s/Bowers Baltimore auction, lot 3263."
