Lot Description

A very choice example of this conditionally challenging date. Very few collectors cared about mintmarks at the time, and by the time collecting by mintmark became popular, the vast majority of this date disappeared into commercial channels. This near-GEM has a frosty, glowing satin brilliance, a delicate blush of iridescent gold, and a sharp strike. PCGS 14, NGC 15, CAC 4. The most recent NGC-graded example was not CAC approved and sold for $3,240 back in October 2020. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $3,020, but we think this coin could bring more. Cert.
