This piece seldom shows up. The Standard Catalog values it at £1750 and CMV 2018 at almost the same, £1650. DNW sold an example last September for £1600 (>$2100) plus commission. It was described as "Very minor surface marks, otherwise practically as struck with attractive dark tone." The DNW photo also shows a small dark spot in the obverse field. This piece compares very favorably.
