Lot Description

A lovely borderline GEM O-102, that ranks just below the Overton Condition Census. The loop of the 6 is clearly visible below the diagonal of the 7. A satiny brilliance radiates below the iridescent toning. The obverse has a vibrant teal at the rims which melts into an apricot gold over pearly silver in the centers. The reverse is dusted with a shimmering rose-gold and antique silver gray. Sharply struck up devices stand out nicely on both sides. A strong glass reveals only a couple of very minor ticks, widely scattered on the obverse, which will aid in identifying this near GEM as the Chicago coin for posterity. The eye appeal is quite pleasing. Ex 2017 FUN Auction, Heritage, January 2017, lot 4281; NFC to our consignor, via private sale, April 2017. PCGS 2, NGC 0. This coin realized $9,400 in January 2017 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $12,000. VERY RARE finer, for all 1827/6 varieties, there are a half dozen graded finer at PCGS. A fantastic coin for the date collector. Cert. Number 83573441 PCGS # 6147.00
