Lot Description

THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART II Ex Richmond Collection, as noted on the insert. SCARCE in all grades, the New Orleans Arrows and Rays half dollar is a rarity in Mint State. This pedigreed example is well struck and delicately dusted with iridescent pastel gold and soft rose that blends with the pearly hue. PCGS 2, NGC 4. This is the ONLY NGC-graded example, selling for $2,530 back in the March 2005 sale of the Richmond Collection, Part 3. Since then there have been three records for PCGS MS61 pieces, selling between $2,820 and $3,450. The current Collectors Universe value is $3,750. A neat one-year only type. Cert.
