Lot Description

THE B.S.T. COLLECTION This is the glorious GEM that the great Eugene Gardner chose to include in his amazing collection. This is a truly exciting specimen, very high end for the assigned grade and the visual allure is truly sensational. A vibrant orange-gold over richly lustrous RED surfaces are enlivened by a bold and brilliant luster that offers flashy, semi-reflective characteristics. The devices are crisply struck up and frosted, standing out boldly from the surrounding fields. There are no flaws worthy of mention anywhere, even using a strong glass both sides appear FLAWLESS. The eye appeal is exceptional. Ex Platinum Star PCGS Registry Set of Two-Cent Pieces, Bowers & Merena, August 2010, lot 234; Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Heritage, June 2014, lot 30103; our consignor, via Legend Numismatics. PCGS 22, NGC 9, CAC 8. The last PCGS MS65 RD CAC sold for $5,760 in December 2020. In 2014 this coin brought $5,875. The published levels have been driven downward by non-CAC coins selling for lower prices. We know this PQ GEM will bring a very strong bid. Cert.
