Description du lot

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III This is one of the FINEST 47-O half dollars extant, with just a single MS65+ graded finer at PCGS. While the mintage of 2,584,000 was sizable for the era, these went right into antebellum commercial channels where they would remain for a long time. Any Mint State example is an important rarity, especially so in MS64 or finer. A rich, satiny mint frost glows boldly on both sides. Well struck from a shattered pair of dies. Pearly silver hues mingle with some scattered golden accents. The dies shows some evidence of rusting from the hot, humid New Orleans climate. Along with the interesting die cracks on both sides, the 7 is boldly repunched to the south. A neat coin for the advanced collector. PCGS 1, NGC 3, CAC 2. No PCGS MS65 has ever sold in auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $15,000. The single finer MS65+ GOLD CAC is currently being offered for sale for $40,000! This GEM is worthy of a sensational collection of Seated halves. Good luck Cert. Number 81874657 PCGS # 6259
