Description du lot

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III What an impressive GEM example of this early date Seated Liberty half dollar. Intensely lustrous surfaces radiate boldly with a strong cartwheel brilliance. A precision blow from the dies imparted razor sharp definition to the devices that stand out against high end GEM quality surfaces. The is a blush of olive-russet on the left obverse field. This coin has been off the market for ages and is a wonderful early date in this portion of the Boylston Collection. Ex. Silbermunzen Collection, Heritage, May 2008, lot 652, where it realized $12,650. Housed in the same old green tag holder. PCGS 8, NGC 2, CAC 4. The most recent PCGS/CAC example sold for $6,924 in August 2019. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $8,500 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $10,800. Just a half dozen examples have ever graded higher, making this a superb example for any GEM Seated half dollar set. Cert. Number 3144125 PCGS # 6234
