Lot Description

CAC. Wow! This is what a 64+ should look like--a borderline GEM! A supple mint bloom glows around the devices and amplifying the subtle iridescent toning. All of the details of Ms. Liberty’s drapery, hair, and eagle’s feathers are very boldly defined from a deep impression from the dies. This condition census O-116 has a bold visual allure! PCGS 53, NGC 11, CAC 12. Only eight coins are graded as MS64+. This is only one of two MS64+s that have ever sold in auction, realizing $5,031 in March 2011. The other one was NOT CAC approved, and realized $4,700 in the 2017 FUN. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,650. Bound for any serious collection of Bust halves or type coins.
