Lot Description

A borderline GEM O-108 that is squarely ensconced in the Overton Condition Census. Overton lists the variety as Rarity-3, AMBPR as Rarity-2. Only two die marriages feature the Square 2 and Large 8s obverse, O-108 and O-109. Shimmering, brilliant, satiny luster glows with a florescent radiance below a layer of classic, old collection toning. Warm gold, rich pewter, and delicate olive-tan hues. The surfaces are smooth and free from post mint damage of any kind. The devices are sharply impressed with crisp details. The eye appeal is GEM-like and very high end. Ex Heritage FUN Auction, January 2019, lot 3398 (as PCGS MS64); Heritage, October 2019, lot 3090 (as PCGS MS64+ CAC); our consignor. PCGS 10, NGC 1, CAC 5. There are three graded MS64+ at PCGS and just a half dozen are graded finer. This coin sold in October 2019 for $4,680. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,500. The last MS65 sold in March 2006--15 years ago! WOW that's a long time! Bid accordingly. Cert. Number 37507417 PCGS # 6150.00
