Lot Description

This is a date that almost never comes with full definition, but the presently offered SUPERB gem is about as close to a full strike as could be hoped for. A brilliant satin mint frost shines through a lively pastel toning. The obverse shows shades of icy/powder blue and rose that accents a pleasing dove/gold. The lower reverse has hints of sunset patina, while the upper portion is an icy-steel blue. A beautiful example. PCGS 11, NGC 10, CAC 5. Only a single MS66 is recorded at PCGS as the finest. This coin sold for $15,862.50 in our December Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $17,500. This PQ coin has eye appeal for days and we could see serious bidding competition when it crosses the block. PCGS # 3965 Cert. Number 81632636 PCGS # 3965
