Lot Description

This is by far one of the very nicest Mint State 1915-S Saints we have ever seen! No question this coin is closer to MS67 then MS66! Exciting surfaces are superior to most. Only when using a strong glass can you find some microscopic ticks widely scattered around in tiny groups and a frost break or two. For a 15-S the surfaces are seriously above average in terms of BOTH cleanliness and texture. The surfaces are a slight satiny texture. We actually grade the reverse a full MS66.9+! This is NOT a "dirty" or rugged looking coin. The luster is strong and glows from all over. Both sides are an even deeper gold color. There are NO stains or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are very well struck. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 241, NGC 171 CAC 21. PCGS has graded just 9 coins in MS66+ with NONE higher. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $52,875 in August 2020 with ferocious bidding. That was no fluke, another coin had sold for $36,000 in January 2020. The coin offered here, has been off the market for many years. We have handled only one other a VERY long time ago. If you are a Saint Collector this is a really SUPERB fresh piece. It WILL be a highlight of ANY GEM set. Good luck! Cert. Number 40396903 PCGS # 9168.00
