Lot Description

A bold example of this very popular date. Because of the scarcity of the business strikes, and the low mintage of the proofs, this issue is ALWAYS in demand. When they look like this near-GEM, the demand is off the charts. Rich mirrored fields show much more red than the BN designation would suggest. There are accents of olive and azure/violet. The coin possesses a great look, better than the vast majority of coins in this grade. Only 900 proofs were struck. PCGS 35, NGC 19, CAC 6. The last CAC-approved coin sold in September 2014, realizing $4,700 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,250. With the exceptional eye appeal that this near-GEM possesses, we know that the bidding competition will be intense. Certification Number 82251162 PCGS # 2318
