This cataloger's EAC grade is VF25 sharpness net VF20. The attribution and Husak-Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 2 finer: 1 in 40, 1 in 53. 35774.35/14007468.

An avid golfer whose goal was playing each of the top 100 golf courses in the U.S., Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz was an obstetrician-gynecologist in Glen Dale, West Virginia. He joined Early American Coppers in 1972 as member number 260. Shalowitz earned his medical degree from University of Maryland, completed his residency at York Hospital in Pennsylvania, and practiced for many years in Akron, Ohio. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Shalowitz was born on March 28, 1951 and began collecting Lincoln cents in his youth. He has specialized in large cents since the age of 16, and purchased Denis Loring's Sheldon-number set in 1974. Known to his friends as Bob or Shal, he passed away on April 16, 2022.
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
