Lot Description

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III This is a stunning GEM, one of the FINEST KNOWN examples of this important issue and it is the second HIGHEST graded at PCGS, behind the Col. Green-Eric Newman- Bob Simpson MS67+. Shimmering frosty brilliant surfaces have pearly silver that glows boldly all over. Wonderfully preserved, struck from clashed and cracked dies. Sharply struck devices stand out wonderfully. The eye appeal is exceptional in every way. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the Gene Gardner coin, which sold in June 2014 as a PCGS MS65 CAC for $70,500. It has since upgraded to a 65+ and the current PCGS Price Guide value in MS65+ is $85,000. Worthy of another WORLD CLASS set and bidding will be very strong. Cert. Number 83272166 PCGS # 6315
