Lot Description

A popular "TOP 100" VAM variety, one of three O/S mintmarks for the year, this one defined as a "broken" O/S. A VERY HIGH END example, essentially of full GEM quality. Highly lustrous with strong rolling cartwheels over silky smooth surfaces. A bold strike is seen on both sides, with only the slightest hint of softness. The peripheries show a subtle, yet lovely halo of gold toning and the surfaces are free of any distracting marks--all imposing an impressive visual effect for the viewer. PCGS 45, NGC 44, CAC 6. VERY RARE any finer, indeed PCGS has graded only seven coins finer with the "weak" O/S mint mark. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $900 and with 65s selling for over $7,000 the present coin presents a great value and opportunity for someone looking for a high end piece for their set. Cert. Number 19610935 PCGS # 87138
