Lot Description

THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION KNOCKOUT eye appeal. Creamy mint bloom drapes clean fields. Subtle nuances of celery, lemon yellow, electric blue and soft peach toning create a lovely halo effect. Virtually unblemished surfaces save for a tiny tick here and there which you need strong magnification to even see. Rare in GEM status. In fact, MS-65 and MS66 Seated halves of any date/mint are considered exceedingly elusive, which is what makes this collection so spectacular--the quantity of high grade gems is highly unusual. WB-4 Rarity-3. Overlapping 8s in the dentils. PCGS 0; NGC 2. PCGS Price Guide value is not listed for the grade (MS64 is $4,500). From the highly regarded Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part III where it sold for $8,813 in January 2017. The market is much stronger today, than in 2017, so prepare to battle it out for this AWESOME piece! Cert. Number 3814276-004 PCGS # 6245.00
