Lot Description

This is a totally original and very pleasing borderline SUPERB GEM. Both sides are awash in a dappled melange of teal and rose patina over lustrous surfaces. Sharply struck from remarkably unclashed dies, this lovely coin has clean surfaces, devoid of serious marks or lines. Even using a strong glass you cannot find a single mark or line worthy of mention. This coin has a classic, old time trime look, from a popular Civil War year and with a cool overdate feature. PCGS 102, NGC 68, CAC 34. This is the only MS66+ graded at NGC and it last sold in June 2015--nearly seven full years ago. Indeed, the last PCGS MS66+ coin sold back in our December 2016 Regency auction. Those long ago auction records mean nothing in today's market. More recently a non-CAC NGC MS66 sold in October 2021 for $1,980 and a non-CAC NGC MS67 sold for $3,600 in November 2020. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $3,750. NGC has graded at total of 18 coins higher. Cert. Number 73813903002 PCGS # 3681
