Lot Description

The JR-5 variety is noted for its spacing of STATES OF AMERICA, which appear as one word, and this is one of the finer examples known of this very scarce variety. Light wear is seen as friction on the highest points of the design. Deeply toned in a bluish-brown gray, this piece has traces of original luster that cling to the protected areas. Bold definition on both sides, this coin has a very neat look. PCGS 3, NGC 2. It's been a dozen years since this example sold. Since then we sold a PCGS-graded coin for $17,038. This coin has a similar look to the other PCGS-graded example sold in March 2015 for $11,456. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $15,000. Rare finer, this is a challenging variety in such a lofty state of preservation. Cert. Number 1601276-002 PCGS # 4490.00
