Lot Description

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III A truly beautiful specimen of William Barber's Seated Liberty type, struck in silver with a reeded edge, this coin is rated R-7- (with approximately 7-12 examples known). Bold, wonderfully reflective mirrored fields have a lovely watery texture. Under the lovely multicolored iridescent toning, the mirrors are clean, clear, and visible from across the room. A halo of rainbow color hugs the periphery of both the obverse and reverse with a light dusting of clear, reddish-gold patina in the centers. The details on both sides are crisply struck and the overall eye appeal of this GEM is excellent! PCGS 2, NGC 2, CAC 2. This coin sold in our July 2017 Regency Auction for $8,519 and again in our July 2021 Regency Auction for $6,169.The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $9,000. Only one PR66+ is graded finer at PCGS. Cert. Number 84016001 PCGS # 61179
