Lot Description

This is a SUPERB GEM masterpiece. If you seek the finest, then you certainly need to seek this coin! Incredible surfaces are really FLAWLESS. We did look this coin over hard with a strong glass. We found not even anything microscopic to comment about. The surface texture is satiny. An above average but glowing luster is all over. Both sides are evenly drenched in an original sunset gold/pale pinkish gold coloration. There are no discolorations. There is a tiny toning dot on the lower reverse rim. Miss Liberty and every detail are frosted and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is awesome! PCGS 11, NGC 7, CAC 6. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $9,900 in January 2018. Prior to that, none had ever sold via auction. The current Collectors Universe value is $11,000. We doubt you will ever see a better 1896. This coin belongs in the very best Type or $2.5 collection. It is amazing! Cert. Number 34478513 PCGS # 007848
