Lot Description

THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION, PART IV This is another date that saw a seven figure mintage, but the survival rate in Mint State, especially this high a grade are incredibly RARE. This is a wonderful, original example. Light tan over rich antique silver patina is enlivened by a satiny frost. The strike is somewhat blunt in some areas, but strong overall. The eye appeal of this near-GEM is incredible. PCGS 3, NGC 2, CAC 2. The most recent example to sell in auction brought $17,625 in our May 2021 Regency Auction (ex Boylston Collection, Part II). Only three are graded finer, including the Ex Eliasberg example we sold in April 2021 for $67,563. In MS64, the PCGS Price Guide value is $10,000 and the CAC CPG value is $14,400. We expect very strong bidding when this one crosses the block. Cert. Number 46363489 PCGS # 6329
