Description |
EX ELIASBERG/SUNNYWOOD/SIMPSON. The finest known 1892-O dollar; the Eliasberg specimen; the only '92-O graded MS67 by either service. The Sunnywood Collection is about balancing colorful toning with technical quality. While the MS64 in our duplicates set has marvelous colorful toning on both sides, and an excellent strike, we simply could not refuse the opportunity to include this original, subtly toned, single finest known specimen of the date. Creamy ivory "Eliasberg toning" is accented with russet and hints of sea-green and pale blue at the perimeters. This is one of "the group of six" (the branch Mint dollars of 1892 and 1893) that the elder Clapp acquired from well-heeled Philadelphia dealer J. Colvin Randall in early 1894. As such, we are happy to reunite this coin with the Clapp-Eliasberg 1893-S, also in our collection. As with all the coins in the group of six, the most plausible explanation for the extraordinary quality is that this may have been an early strike specimen carefully set aside for the Assay Commission. Ex J. Colvin Randall to J.M. Clapp in 1894; upon his passing, to his son J.H. Clapp in 1906; to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. as part of the Clapp estate purchase in 1942; to his son Richard A. Eliasberg upon the former's passing in 1976; Bowers & Merena, The Eliasberg Collection (4/8/97:2289); Mike Gilley; the Arno Collection; Heritage, FUN Sale (1/9/09:5011); acquired privately by Sunnywood (4/28/09).
This coin is the ultimate in quality, rarity, and pedigree! Even after over 25 years and millions of coins, this is still the finest graded by PCGS. Sunnywood was a stickler for quality, and this piece certainly belongs in his, or any great collection. PCGS # 7216.
This coin is being sold with no reserve.
