Lot Description

This is a freshly graded GEM with spectacular toning that has a wonderful, totally original visual allure! The obverse is awash with magenta-red, rose-tangerine, and soft violet and brown. The reverse is an even lilac-lavender over chocolate brown. The mirrored fields flash from below the toning and the devices are sharp. There are no flecks, spots, or discolorations to detract from the great eye appeal. PCGS 66, NGC 53, CAC 7. There are just two in PR65+, neither of which have ever sold (again, this coin is just back from PCGS). The ONLY PR65 RB with CAC approval sold back in June 2013 for $1,528. The current Collectors Universe value is $1,100. A really nice and original example worthy of a strong bid. Cert. Number 40682584 PCGS # 2379.00
