Lot Description

Arguably, this is the FINEST KNOWN O-105! Once graded MS66 by NGC and down crossed to MS65 by our consignor, this coin is the #1 coin listed in the Spring 2021 Revision of the AMBPR and the 5th Edition Overton Census is 66,65,65,64,64. A scarcer variety, listed as Rarity-3. Showing off a sensationally brilliant luster, when twirling the coin in a light, the rolling cartwheels swirl over essentially untoned surfaces. Both obverse and reverse show hints of semi-Prooflike reflective flashes, especially on the reverse. Brilliant, shimmering silver surfaces are imbued with the most gentle dusting of champagne gold that comes to life with the oozing brilliance. Even a strong glass fails to reveal anything more than a stray tiny tick or two, invisible to the naked eye. A microscopic toning dot at the L in LIBERTY will forever serve as a pedigree marker identifying this GEM. Ex Heritage, April 2001, lot 3197; Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Heritage, April 2009, lot 703; Heritage, September 2009, lot 753; Heritage, April 2014, lot 5597 (as NGC MS66); our consignor. PCGS 39, NGC 50. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $8,500 and recent APRs range from $5,280 to $8,400. Rare finer, PCGS has graded 17 finer. As a type coin, or GEM representative of the date, this beautiful coin has a lot to offer the collector. Bidding will be as strong as the luster when it crosses the block! Cert.
