Lot Description

Not only is this SUPERB coin CAC approved, but also has an Eagle Eye Seal, a coveted accolade for the specialist collector. Scarce in MS65 grades and RARE any finer. In MS66+ or finer grade, these are extremely RARE--this gorgeous Flyer is among the top dozen graded at PCGS! A highly lustrous GEM example, premium quality exemplified! The golden-tan color of the copper-nickel planchet is enhanced by a bold mint bloom. A delicate overtone further delights the eye and is a testament to the originality. Sharply struck with complete definition to the eagle's feathers and the leaves on the wreath. With just a few very minor flecks, this GEM does have a great eye appeal. PCGS 51, NGC 20, CAC 16. Just 9 are graded MS66+ at PCGS. The most recent example sold for $16,800 in August 2020; prior to that, one sold in March 2020 for $19,200. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $26,500. Just three are graded finer 2 in MS67 and 1 in MS67+, and the last MS67 sold almost 18 years ago! With both Eagle Eye and CAC approval, this GEM will appeal to a wide range of quality conscience specialists! Cert. Number 35932604 PCGS # 2019.00
