Lot Description

This is a totally original, high end example for the grade. Rich autumnal toning is brought out by a flashy brilliant mint luster. The details are fully struck up and have full definition. A strong glass does not reveal even the slightest mark or tick, and we think if the obverse luster was a touch more lustrous we would not flinch if it was housed in a higher grade holder (no guarantees). PCGS 16, NGC 9, CAC 6. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $2,640 in the 2018 ANA auction. Five years have passed between that coin selling and the one prior to that, which realized $2,703 in the 2013 ANA auction. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $3,400. This is a VERY RARE date any finer, so a high end 64 like this will delight any Barber collector who wants a CAC approved example that does not want to spend $10,000+ for a CAC MS66. Cert.
