Losbeschreibung

FROM THE OAK COLLECTION Ex Bass, as noted on the insert. From our Regency Auction 30, lot 410, where it was described as: "A fully Prooflike example from one of the most important cabinets of rare coins ever formed, Harry W. Bass, Jr. From an original mintage of only 3,500, this coin was clearly struck early on, and retains the full reflective texture to the fields. A wonderful two tone coloration, with rich orange-gold and accents of icy-blue that add to the eye appeal. Rotate the flashy surfaces in a light and the frosted, well struck devices stand out with nearly a cameo effect." Ex. Superior, February 1973, lot 304; Harry Bass Collection; Bowers & Merena's sale of the Bass Collection, Part II, October 1999, lot 687; unknown intermediaries; Heritage, September 2016, lot 4582; Sand Hill Collection; our Regency Auction 30, January 2019, lot 410; Legend Numismatics; Oak Collection. PCGS 50, NGC 93, CAC 19. This coin brought $3,760 in 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,750. Quite scarce in Mint State grades, this AU58+ is worthy a fantastic set. Cert.
