Owner Comments:

O.107. R2. Finest known for the Curl and Knob 2 Redbook variety which includes the O.106 and O.107 die marriages. "One of only two Curl 2, Knob varieties, the other (O-106) has a slightly different location for star 13 relative to the curl. Also, what appears to be an extra hair pierces the LIBERTY band beneath the I on O-107. Crisply struck with beautiful golden and teal-blue iridescent highlights that do not adversely impact the coin's substantial luster. Great overall eye appeal. ," per Heritage cataloger. Obtained from Heritage Auction #1124 of the Joseph C. Thomas Collection on 4/18/2009, Lot 710. Prior from Heritage FUN Auction #360 in January, 2005, Lot 7201.
