Corio, Gold Stater

The Dobunni, Corio (c. 30-15 BC)

AV Stater.

Obverse: Dobunnic 'tree' emblem.
Reverse: Stylised horse with three tails, wheel below, hidden face above.

Nearly Extremely Fine. Nicely struck 'tree' emblem. Very rare.

The exact nature of the emblem which appears on impressive gold staters from the Dobunni remains a mystery. Theories range from the so called 'Tree of Life' to an abstract celtic design. Regardless, examples of these coins generally exhibit very weak or worn emblems. This rare example, however, boasts a nicely struck design in good metal. A delightful piece of celtic gold.

1856 Flying Eagle Cent

S-3 *** The iconic 56 Flyer is even more special as a business strike. This beautiful and original example could easily be a 63 to my eye. The surfaces are pristine and smooth and the strike is absolutely full. A must-have for the collector building a mint state set. 61's bringing 17,250 and last 62 @18,600. A bonafide rarity and world-class coin.

1806 Half Dollar, O-108

O-108,T-2,R.7 *** Rarest turban half in the Redbook set with less known than 17/4! This Overton plate coin is a sharp example for the grade. It is nicely made with all major devices fully outlined and quite bold. The motto is full, indicating closer to XF than VF. We have handled several of these rarities over the years. The most recent was a coin from the Stumpy Meyers Collection in VG with a Cud that sold for 110k. This is an excellent opportunity to own a coin that only shows up in multiyear intervals and is very reasonable at current levels and can complete your redbook set.
