Lot Description

From THE CC COLLECTION THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST We can't figure out which is a more amazing attribute, the beautiful colors or the seriously ULTRA HIGH END quality! Virtually perfect surfaces are a delight to see. Using a strong glass finds only two tiny ticks-which we think are what keeps this coin from an MS68 designation. All of the surface area is satiny smooth. A strong luster illuminates the colors. The obverse has a rich and totally original mix of reddish violet/pearl green/blue/gold colors. We rank the colors an 8+ on our 1-10 color scale (10 is the best). The reverse is totally untoned. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck. You can clearly see how perfect her cheek is without any magnification (something very rare today). The eye appeal is beautiful! Here is yet another date that this cataloger does not see fully toned like this. Add in the superb quality and this coin clearly ranks as one of the all time great 1885-CC's! This is the coin that sold for $31,625 in June 2011. We expect fierce bidding here, so be prepared! Cert. Number 31671161 PCGS # 007160
