- Another killer R.5 from 1827. This Condition Census piece comes with a distinguished provenance. It was Ivan Leaman’s set piece until June 1994 when Charlton “Swampy” Meyer extracted it (for $3,625) from the “Pottstown Puller.” (Leaman practiced dentistry in Pottstown, PA. He is best known for his work with Donald Gunnet in developing the emission order for Capped Bust halves. Consult page 9 of your AMBPR for the complete list.) Swampy died in September 2006. I purchased the Meyer Collection from Gloria Meyer in 2008 and offered it during the July-August 2008 ANA Convention in Baltimore. When I priced this coin at $4,250 a collector pounced. It remained off the market until 2018, when the current consignor acquired it via private treaty for $4,450. The coin is charming. It is lightly toned with an alarming dose of luster for the assigned grade. The surfaces display insignificant signs of handling and are free of circulation ticks.
Estimate: $3,500 to $4,500
