Losbeschreibung: FROM THE PERFECTION COLLECTION OF CAPPED BUST HALF DOLLARS This is the FINEST O-106 KNOWN and a truly gorgeous GEM example at that. The collection name truly applies to this fabulous GEM! WOW! Both sides are dripping with a resplendent cartwheel luster that blazes across the exceptionally clean and high quality surfaces with a bold, rolling flow. This coin is closer in brilliance to a superb gem Morgan dollar than the typically encountered Mint State Bust half. Sensational pastel blue, yellow, and pale green hues are brought out by the intense flashy brilliance. Crisply struck up throughout, save for the most insignificant softness in a few of the star centers. The eye appeal is truly off the charts and simply stunning in every sense! Ex Heritage, April 2008, lot 2309; Eugene Gardner Collection; Heritage's sale of the Gardner Collection, June 2014, lot 30472. PCGS 4, NGC 0, CAC 2. There are just two in MS65+ at PCGS and a single MS66+ finer. In its most recent appearance, this coin had yet to be submitted for a "+" and it realized $61,688. Today in MS65+ the Collectors Universe value is listed at $72,500. We love the look of this coin and this spectacular GEM is worthy of a world class type or date set. This coin will likely bring a record price when the hammer does finally fall. Good luck. Cert. Number 90045369 PCGS # 6123
