Lot Description

Ex Link, as noted on the insert. Even though the Large 0 Red Book variety is common, the scarcest variety is only R-3, they are remarkably RARE in MS64 or finer grades. A beautiful GEM O-122, solidly in the Condition Census and ranking tied for second FINEST KNOWN! Truly an incredible looking GEM with a bold satiny frost. The lustrous fields are aglow under a delicate dusting of iridescent blue, gold, teal, and rose tone. The design elements are boldly rendered and we note only the slightest touch of weakness on some of the eagle's feather tips. The technical and aesthetic qualities are wonderful, and we think perhaps it is a couple of microscopic lines that keep this GEM from a green CAC sticker, but rest assured, the eye appeal is fabulous. Ex. Goldberg's, May 2012, lot 1214 (as NGC MS65); Dr. Charles Link Collection; Konstantine Collection, Legend Rare Coin Auctions, Regency Auction 28, September 2018, lot 64; our consignor. PCGS 7, NGC 2. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,000 and this GEM brought $9,400 in our Regency Auction 28. Just a handful are graded finer for the Large 0 Red Book variety, making this a sensational addition to any Red Book set. Good luck! Cert. Number 28523158 PCGS # 6157.00
