Lot Description

This coin is a crisp, no nonsense original GEM. Overall, the surfaces are clean and have a thick satiny texture. Only when using a strong glass can you detect a small scuff and a line or two-nothing that diminishes the grade. A strong glowing luster enhances the totally original gold colors. There is a slight halo of pastel gold/baby blue -all totally original colors. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are well struck. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 26, NGC 8, CAC 12. PCGS has graded only 2 in MS65+. Legend Numismatics recently placed the other coin in a collection. Neither MS65+ has ever appeared in auction. The current Collector’s Universe value is $16,000. This piece is a great coin to start any Type set with or add to any $3 set. Cert. Number 84111326 PCGS # 7969
