Provenance - Ex Dr Adrian Carr Collection and Harlan J.Berk Ltd, Chicago with ticket in 2004, Auction Sale 1001 (lot 148) with reference number 43080. This coin was in both Harlan Berk's Mail Bid and Buy sale #1001 as well as listed on his V Coins page for $675. It is currently an unrecorded letter reversal in the obverse legend. An interesting variety to have in any collection. The normal valuation of this type is interesting as Vagi has the coin being the more valuable of the two cistophoric types whereas Sear has the opposite valuation.
