Lot Description

Simply magnificent, essentially fresh from the mint quality. Blazing mint luster is a brilliant, fire engine red color that really dazzles the eye. The sharply struck devices stand out boldly against the satiny smooth surfaces that are totally free of anything but the most minute tick or toning dot seen with a strong glass. Clearly this coin sat undisturbed in an original bank roll and was carefully preserved for posterity, making it one of the eight FINEST graded at either PCGS or NGC. PCGS 19, NGC 0, CAC 3. There are six graded MS66+ RD at PCGS, and only a single non-CAC example has ever sold, realizing $14,100 in the 2016 FUN auction. Today's Collector's Universe value is listed at $13,000. Just two coins are graded finer, and keep in mind that one, a non-CAC 67 RD just sold in the 2019 FUN auction for $31,200! This essentially SUPERB GEM has a bold look, stunning eye appeal, and excellent quality that will delight anyone building a really high end set. Cert. Number 36753293 PCGS # 002518
