Lot Description

Ex D. Brent Pogue Collection. We had the pleasure of selling this gorgeous GEM in our September 2018 sale of the Konstantine Collection, where we described it as: "Among the very FINEST KNOWN 1827/6s that survive for collectors, PCGS has only graded as single coin marginally finer as a 66+. This beautifully toned, ultra-GEM grade example has a spectacular eye appeal and clearly was lovingly cared for and preserved, a remarkable miracle of numismatic survival. A bold, glowing luster radiates with superb brilliance on both sides, rolling along on with strong cartwheels. The spectacular visual allure is augmented by a very attractive pale blue that dominates toward the peripheries, fading and blending with hues of peach, gold, and soft pewter. The surfaces are smooth and the luster is ultra creamy with a strong satiny texture. The devices are sharply struck up and crisply rendered by an exacting blow from the dies. The eye appeal is intense and SUPERB. It is almost unbelievable that a Capped Bust half could look this beautiful after so many years!" PCGS 3, NGC 2, CAC 3. In its most recent appearance, in April 2019, this coin realized $39,600 as part of the Jim O'Neal Collection. That in so short a period of time this GEM was included in the Pogue, Konstantine, and O'Neal Collections means that it is a high end coin, that even the pickiest of collectors enjoyed in their collections. You too can join their ranks, whether as a type, Red Book, or Overton collection addition. Good luck! Cert. Number 31914867 PCGS # 39752.00
