1887-O $1, PL MS (PCGS#7177)

The Regency Auction 45

Lot Description: Ex PCGS Tour, as noted on the old green tag. This is a well struck example of this notoriously weakly struck date. While the frosted reliefs do show some minor weakness they are sharper than usually encountered. The highly lustrous fields have a distinctive Prooflike flash. Mostly untoned there is a tiny blush of peripheral gold that delightfully frames both sides. The eye appeal is excellent. The PCGS Tour Set was a very popular display at coin shows around the country. You will clearly see that with a coin like this in the set, why it would be such a popular draw among collectors. PCGS 20, NGC 2, CAC 5. The most recent example realized $8,700 in the November 2020 sale of the Larry H. Miller Collection. This coin has sold three times previously in the last decade, realizing between $6,500 and $10,500. The Collectors Universe value is limited by non-CAC coins and does not reflect CAC coins of this quality. Just three coins are graded finer at PCGS, one each in MS65+ PL, MS66 PL, and MS66+ PL. A great PL coin for a great set. Good luck. Cert. Number 7454653 PCGS # 7177.00
