Lot Description

The 1872 is the undisputed KEY to the series, and this one is the SECOND HIGHEST GRADED at PCGS, with just a single MS67 RD graded higher. The 1872 is the final date struck for circulation, and only 65,000 were struck. These are VERY RARE in GEM or finer grades, especially in the RD category. Not only is this coin ultra high grade for the issue, but it is, from a visual standpoint, very pleasing. Full red surfaces boast a strong luster that radiates boldly across virtually perfect surfaces. The red has slightly mellowed, offering original soft coloration on both sides. The devices are well struck and stand out nicely. The eye appeal is great. PCGS 1, NGC 0. The Simpson PCGS MS66 RD sold in September 2020 for $72,000. In MS66+ RD the Collectors Universe value is listed at $75,000. A coin that will bring your set to that next level. Bid aggressively to take home this GEM! Cert. Number 41532181 PCGS # 3614.00
