FS 1811 O-113, R5 Bust Half Low Grd - scratched

THIS COIN HAS BEEN SOLD. 8/24/07

I have a duplicate 1811 O-113, R5 I would like to sell. The coin is RAW.

The Bust Half Nut Club defines R5 (not to be confused with R5+ or R5-) as a rarity where 47 to 63 specimens are thought to exist.

Because of the flatly struck left wing, it is tough to give the coin a grade where everyone will agree.

I am grading it as F12/VF20+. Net 12 because of the obverse scratch. With the aid of a 10x you can see a few faint hairlines on both sides.

The most recent sales history for this rare die marriage as reported in Herrman's "Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized" is for a F-12 with an obverse scratch sold in Nov. 2005 for $355. For grades F-10 to VF-20 the historical prices from 1997 to 2005 range from a low of $298 for a F-10 to a high of $545 for a problem-free F-15 sold in 2003. There are NO recent sales histories reported for the lower grade specimens.

I am asking $375 by Postal Money Order or $385 by PayPal. I will pay for Priority Mail Insured shipping to US buyers.

If the coin is NOT sold within 14 days of this posting, I will consider other offers.
