Lot Description

FROM CODY'S COLLECTION WOW! This is a 165 year old GEM that's looks nearly as good as the day it left the bank! How in the world did it survive so nice after all these years? A strong glowing luster greets you from far away. This is NOT a dipped out or messed with coin. The surfaces are clean overall. Only when using a strong glass can you detect a few frost breaks and a tick or two. Both sides are lit with beautiful original yellow gold/orange glow. There are no spots. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have sharp strikes. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 7, NGC 7, CAC 3. There has not been a PCGS CAC piece sold via auction since 2017. That was forever ago. NO Published pricing seems up to date for this GEM. Having none sell for 5 years in auction is a forever long time and proves how rare they are! This coin is housed in an older blue tag holder. Opportunity knocks loud here! Cert. Number 15181309 PCGS # 7777
