Lot Description

FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION A very pleasing, mid-grade example of this important low mintage rarity. From an original mintage of 3,332, only 60-75 are thought to survive in all grades, per PCGS CoinFacts and 70-80 per Rusty Goe. A decent percentage of known examples have serious flaws that would preclude grading, making properly graded and attractive examples, such as the presently offered piece all the more rare! Moderate, problem free wear is seen on the medium olive-gold surfaces. The devices retain bold definition despite the use in wild west commerce. There are some minor, microscopic lines and naturally occurring marks from its honest stay in commercial channels. The eye appeal is excellent for a mid-grade 77-CC. PCGS 4, NGC 1. This is the ONLY example to ever sell in auction, most recently in January 2021 for $8,700. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $10,000. For a date this rare, any example should delight the advanced collector, a problem free, collector oriented coin like this should see very strong bidding! Cert. Number 20550946 PCGS # 8678
