Losbeschreibung

THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART II Most of the 211,000 half dollars produced at the San Francisco mint in 1856 must have disappeared into circulation or were exported and melted in the Far East trade. Regardless, Mint State survivors of this date are VERY RARE. This is the ONLY MS63 graded by PCGS and just two are graded finer, including the Eliasberg-Boylston Collection Part 1 coin we just sold. The present CHOICE example possesses a satiny luster. Twirling the coin in a light, a radial cartwheel luster blooms all over. Sharply struck up, the devices have a frosty texture. The surfaces are choice, not at all choppy or hacked up and the eye appeal is nice. PCGS 1, NGC 2. The most recent coin to sell was the Gene Gardner coin, (not this coin) and realized $12,925 in May 2015, nor does it appear to be the NGC-graded Richmond-Dick Osburn coin that sold for $10,925 in the 2011 ANA auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $14,000 and we think this one will see very strong bidding from the specialist collector. Good luck. Cert. Number 31976318 PCGS # 6289.00
