Lot Description

Nearly prooflike! Soft silver-white surfaces show hints of a dusting of clear gold tone. Flashy, watery surfaces are slightly mirrorlike. Exceptionally well struck with just a hint of weakness at the tops of the eagle’s wing, and Liberty’s leg. The fields do not show any serious marks or lines, just a few minor ones that account for the grade. Close inspection of the reverse shows some die striations. PCGS 5, NGC 5. Only four are graded finer, 3 in 63 and one in 64. The most recent PCGS MS2 sold in July 2008 for $18,400 (that coin had spectacular toning). More recently an NGC MS62 sold for $9,400 in the 2015 FUN auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $18,000. An important opportunity for the advanced collector who does not want to spend $25,000-$30,000 for a 63. Good luck! PCGS # 6931 Cert. Number 2781484 PCGS # 6931
