KM-R21; Lazaro-169 (same dies); Cal-1431; Calb-1059. Weight: 27.10 gms. A nicely preserved and attractive example of this ever-popular RARE date presentation issue exhibiting boldly struck devices with minor doubling on both sides and two bold dates. The surfaces of this moderately worn example display rich mottled gray and slate patina with a slight iridescent sheen. Though in a details holder for being plugged, close inspection under 10 power magnification does not seem to reveal any noticeable evidence of being repaired. Despite its shortcomings this handsome survivor offers a pleasing appearance with a tasteful, nearly imperceptible expertly repaired hole now toned over and very difficult to detect. A wholesome example of the type that is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
