Lot Description

FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION The mintage of 24,105 is the highest in the series until 1891, making this a popular issue for the collector. Rusty Goe suggests a survival of 375-450 in all grades. This is an ideal grade for the collector. Warm honey gold surfaces gleam with bold, attractive underlying mint frost that clings to the lightly circulated devices. Sharply struck devices show off nearly full definition on both sides. We like that this coin is not hacked up at all! The surfaces are amazingly clean for the assigned grade. The eye appeal is very high end for this issue. PCGS 50, NGC 45, CAC 10. NO CAC-approved example has ever sold in auction. The CAC CPG value is listed at $6,250 and we think this coin will sell for a level close to that. Good luck. Cert. Number 39493404 PCGS # 8692
