The Regency Auction 41

Lot Description: FROM THE BRUCE MORELAN COLLECTION An AMAZING near GEM! WOW! One of the FINEST KNOWN B-3, BB-141 and it sits at the very top of the PCGS CoinFacts census! An extraordinary, high end quality coin that is totally original and oh so close to a full GEM caliber grade. This is a truly memorable piece that will be a treasure in the collection of the next owner. You won't see many early dollars as fresh and original as this piece. The surprisingly immaculate surfaces reveal no problems of any kind and the color is a mix of original dove gray, soft pewter, and pale golden champagne. A pearly satin lustrous sheen under the soft toning really brings this beauty to life! Miss Liberty and the details are very well struck. You can clearly see the 9/8 overdate with a glass. The eye appeal is very nice! This coin is ex Stack's June 1990, lot 400; 2011 ANA auction, lot 7398; Stack's Bowers March 2012, lot 4115; 2012 ANA auction; Stack's Bowers November 2012, where it sold for $123,375; Joe O'Connor; our Regency Auction X, lot 201; Bruce Morelan Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 3, CAC 1. This coin last sold back in 2012, since then . The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $115,000 and NONE are finer at PCGS. Keep in mind that the Pogue coin was only a 63. The Newman coin, which was NGC MS64+ sold for $141,000 back in 2013. This coin is more original and eye appealing and should sell for a strong bid! Good luck! Cert. Number 6661556 PCGS # 6883.00
