Lot Description

FROM THE ERIC H. TEMPLETON COLLECTION A wonderful, nearly Condition Census grade B-6, BB-241. The list of Notable Specimens range from MS65 to MS63 (and Dave Bowers states at the end of the listing "many more Choice Uncirculated specimens could be listed." That said, PCGS has graded just seven coins finer. This is a very special early dollar. Brilliantly lustrous with an intense satin vibrancy that brings life to a rich, totally original palette of color. Rose, gold, and pewter patina mixes with accents of lilac and soft violet hues adds to the wonderful eye appeal. The details are sharply impressed, crisply rendered by an exacting, well centered blow from the mint's screw press. Even under intense scrutiny with a powerful glass, you will be hard pressed to find any serious ticks or marks. Ex. Heritage, April 2017, lot 4094; our Regency Auction 26. May 2018, lot 5. PCGS 2, NGC 0. This coin went unsold in May 2018, but had an APR of $52,875. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $65,000. This CHOICE example should sell for more than that today. Good luck! Cert. Number 84145495 PCGS # 40087.00
