Lot Description

FROM THE OAK COLLECTION The final year of issue for this odd denomination gold coin and only 2,300 coins were struck, however as its last of its kind status, these were saved more than earlier issues. That said, GEM and finer examples are VERY RARE! A strong, frosty satin sheen graces both sides of this nearly flawless and pristine GEM. The luster glows boldly, accenting the gorgeous and totally original coloration. Sharply struck. The eye appeal is amazing. PCGS 13, NGC 9, CAC 5. This is the example that sold in April 2017 for $21,150. Today the CAC CPG value is $30,000 and the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $24,000. As the final date produced, this exceptional GEM serves as a fantastic capstone to this set, and will fit beautifully in another world class set! Good luck. Cert. Number 35601735 PCGS # 8011
