Lot Description

Deep mint frost coats boldly rendered motifs and rolls over satiny smooth fields. A few scattered obverse contact marks are noted as is a scuff on the reverse beneath the eagle’s left wing. This coin truly merits the CAC designation as the luster is just so pristine and intense! PCGS 11, NGC 27, CAC 5. Only 1 coin grades higher with a CAC sticker and that piece is an MS66. CAC gold is the holy grail among collectors as everyone knows how hard it is to find gold coins with original, fresh surfaces, like this piece. That is why we recommend you bid liberally if you wish to add this lovely piece to your collection! Cert. Number 25666937 PCGS # 8396
