Lot Description

THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION, PART IV Glittering cartwheel luster and satiny mint frost accent blast white surfaces. Needle sharp design details. Just a whisper away from an even loftier grade, there are just a few microscopic ticks. Relatively low mintage with just 511,400 business strikes coined. While date was found in the famed "Guatemala Hoard," most were horribly scrubbed, creating serious demand for attractive, problem-free examples. It is clear this GEM was not from that source. PCGS 13, NGC 8. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,500. The last MS65 sold in auction seven years ago, but more recently a 65+ sold for $8,400. Fewer than a dozen examples have been graded finer at PCGS, and worthy of placement in a great set. Good luck. Cert. Number 33136563 PCGS # 6313
