CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

CAC green sticker. O-101, R1. >1,000 extant. CAC data (5/2021: 298 total, 42 on grade, 50 higher). Comments from Sheridan Downey: "Ex Keith Davignon. Classic “grey dirt,” a favorite look among advanced collectors and grading services, including CAC. If you like original coins with cakey undisturbed luster this is your coin. Sharply struck! Immaculate surfaces save for a near invisible hairline, ribbon end to S12. A quality coin for a quality collection. High grade 1835's, for reasons not well understood, are less common than other dates in the 1830's. Epitome of "Grey Dirt". Bought from Sheridan Downey's fixed price list in July, 2020
