An original gem example of this popular type coin, toned in a pretty combination of steel blue, golden-brown, and light purple.

This coin traces its pedigree to Stack’s 1960 sale of the Milton A. Holmes collection, where it was described succinctly as ‘Uncirculated, steel blue. A Gem!’.

We like coins with history and take particular note of an original example such as this that was considered exceptional 46 years ago and was described as a gem in an era when that phrase was sparingly used.

A lovely little coin.

Ex-Stack’s October, 1960 sale of the Milton A Homes collection, as noted, lot #2749, with the original lot ticket accompanying this piece.
