Deep yellow-gold with a definitive olive glow throughout. The rare variety with a plugged 5 in the date, here rightfully called AU. The 2 in the date of Kagin-5 was drilled out of the die and replaced with a plug bearing the numeral 5. Lightly struck on the left of the obverse and similarly on the reverse – the Kagin reference notes that the Wass, Molitor & Co. pieces “are among the poorest struck of all private coins.” Despite some visible marks, the surfaces are appealing and the eye appeal is substantial. This specimen should prove to be a highlight of this sale, a coin that will be pursued by advanced specialists or knowledgeable beginners who want to start right at the top of the series. Either way, one thing is certain – the next steward will need to fend off strong bidding competition to take this prize home.
Estimate $ 20000-25000
