Lot Description

A GEM O-115 that sits squarely in the 5th Edition Overton Condition Census. Listed as Rarity-3 by Overton and Rarity-2 in the AMBPR, this is a slightly less common to moderately scarce die pairing, especially so in such a lofty state of preservation. Sharply struck up from a later die state with the dies clashed, stars and letters drawn to the rims. Overall the strike is sharp, boldly impressed on both sides, especially in the central portions of the design types. The satiny fields show smooth, nearly flawless preservation with a rich frosty luster that brings out the variegated hues in the deeply toned surfaces. The eye appeal is excellent. Ex Heritage FUN Auction, January 2017, lot 4270; our consignor. PCGS 25, NGC 27. There is a wide range of recent APRs, from $4,680 to $9,106; this coin sold for $5,405 in 2017. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $9,000. VERY RARE finer with just a baker's dozen graded higher for the date. This is a great looking coin that will delight any type or date collector. Bid accordingly. Cert. Number 81941731 PCGS # 6142.00
