Lot Description

FROM THE SAND HILL COLLECTION. O-103. This is a very high end and lustrous example of this variety, just shy of the condition census. Sharply struck devices stand out against the fields that show a hint of flashy PL reflection, especially on the reverse. A few light scattered ticks can be seen with a strong glass, but none are distracting from the superb eye appeal. PCGS 74, NGC 43, CAC 13. This is the ONLY MS63+ of the date graded. The last regular MS63 to sell with CAC approval realized $3,000 in December 2017. In MS63+, the Collector's Universe value is listed at $4,150. Like all Bust halves, this date is scarce any finer and RARE in GEM. A great example for the date or type. Cert. Number 3342150 PCGS # 6131
