1835 50C O-109 MS (PCGS#39935)

The Regency Auction 41

Lot Description: O-109. A marvelous GEM that is one of the ABSOLUTE FINEST KNOWN of the entire DATE, not just O-109. A WORLD CLASS Capped Bust half dollar! This stunning coin is the epitome of what an astute specialist in the series seeks out! An intense cartwheel luster rolls with an unimpeded brilliance on both sides. The surfaces are wonderful and unimpeachably original. A pale golden hue, deepens to a peachy-apricot rose before yielding to a deeper azure around the peripheral devices. The eye appeal is awesome! Only two or three coins grade higher for the O-109 in the census. The finest by far is the Eliasberg-Kaufman coin which is NGC MS67*. PCGS 9, NGC 10, CAC 6. There are 4 in MS65+ and just two coins graded finer for the entire date! The two other MS65s to sell in auction were ex Pogue, non CAC-approved, selling for $15,275 and $14,100 in February 2016. This coin sold in November 2013 for $21,150 as a PCGS MS65 CAC (not "+" at the time). The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $17,500. A coin like this should bring a very strong bid for sure. Good luck! Cert. Number 29967696 PCGS # 6168.00
