Lot Description

Outstanding quality for this elusive date and Mint! Totally original slate, lilac, and battleship toning is brought out by a soft satin frost that belies the toning. Although 129,950 pieces were struck the vast majority were lost or melted long ago. High grade pieces are downright rare, with Mint State coins prohibitive and number just three or four pieces! Hence the finest most collectors can obtain is a Fine or so example from these dies. Here is a stellar AU58 coin that offers a very high quality look! This is a truly delightful example of this condition rarity that should be secured if you are serious about this popular series. PCGS 3, NGC 5, CAC 3. This SUPERB GEM AU sold in our December 2012 auction for $17,250. NO OTHER CAC-approved AU58 has sold since! The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $18,500 and keep in mind that ANY Mint State coin is going to be a $35,000+ purchase! Cert. Number 19473955 PCGS # 6284
