Losbeschreibung

A word class GEM O-109, well in the Condition Census for thsi Rarity-2 die pairing. The Overton Census is listed at 67,67,66,66,64, and this is the fourth highest graded example sold, per the AMBPR. Only two or three coins grade higher for the O-109 in the census. The finest by far is the Eliasberg-Kaufman coin which is NGC MS67* and in reviewing the PCGS Population Report, there are just two examples of all die pairings graded finer, a 66 and a 67+, making this tied for third FINEST graded at PCGS. This stunning coin is the epitome of what an astute specialist in the series seeks out! An intense cartwheel luster rolls with an unimpeded brilliance on both sides. The surfaces are wonderful and unimpeachably original. A pale golden hue, deepens to a peachy-apricot rose before yielding to a deeper azure around the peripheral devices. The eye appeal is awesome! Ex Heritage's November 2013 auction, lot 3615 (as PCGS MS65 CAC); intermediaries; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction 41, October 2020, lot 180 (as PCGS MS65+ CAC); our consignor. PCGS 10, NGC 10, CAC 6. There are four in MS65+ and this one is the most recent example to sell in auction, realizing $19,975 in our October 2020 Regency Auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $20,000. This is another spectacular Capped Bust half dollar that will delight not just the specialist collector, but also generalists looking for a superb GEM for a type set or box of twenty! We anticipate very strong bidding! Good luck. Cert. Number 29967696 PCGS # 6168.00
