Lot Description

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III Tied for FINEST graded 1860-S half dollar, neither PCGS nor NGC has one on the current Population and Census Reports. A brilliant satiny luster has a soft glowing cartwheel bloom on both sides. Pearly silver with delicate golden tan that clings to the peripheral devices and around the sharply struck devices. The reverse fields are tinged with a very subtle pastel iridescence. The design elements are very sharp and there are little to no surface disturbances worthy of mention. PCGS 7, NGC 4, CAC 1. This is the former Richard Jewell Collection coin that brought $12,925 back in Stack's Bowers' 2013 ANA auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $12,500, and as the SINGLE FINEST CAC approved example that level may well be challenged by the time the hammer falls. Good luck. Cert. Number 5940800 PCGS # 6301
