Owner Comments:
Copper-Nickel or nickel pattern from the Chirico Collection. Very Rare. Dupriez-66. Only one other example of this date that I have seen. The other in a PCGS holder also graded SP62. NGC MS62 ex. Chirico Collection, where I was in attendance as a floor bidder at the live auction. The sale had low estimate on material that had not seen an auction in a very long time, if ever. The prices realized were typically multiples of even the high estimates. This coin was part of a large lot that was purchased by another bidder and I was fortunate enough to buy it on it's own at a later date.
