Lot Description

Vivid eye appeal is imparted by deep, watery-reflective mirrors that provide a stunning contrast to the exceptionally frosty reliefs. All elements of the design are razor sharp and displaying a full crisp strike, and are accented by a delightful blush of gold. We note a tiny fleck on the obverse essentially hidden near the denticles at 8:00. PCGS 12, NGC 13, CAC 14. Only two are finer at PCGS a PR67+ CAM and a PR68 CAM. Prior to this coin selling for $2,174 in our January 2017 Regency Auction, the last PCGS coin sold in June 2014 and was CAC, which realized $3,760, before that you had to go back to 2009 to find an example in this lofty grade sold, a non CAC at $1,955. The current CU value of $1,500 seems as obsolete as the 3C denomination! Keep in mind the PR67+ CAM sold for $4,818 at the 2016 ANA auction. One of the best out there, and clearly worthy of a fine set! Cert. Number 29424516 PCGS # 83781
