Lot Description

Ex. Col. E.H.R. Green and Eric P. Newman Collections. A spectacular GEM, an imposing example of the final year of the Lettered Edge Capped Bust halves. Like most of the Newman coins, this one has the distinctive concentric, peripheral toning and soft, silver centers. A vibrant mint luster glows allover. Sharply struck for the date that sometimes comes flat. Truly of SUPERB quality and eye appeal, a strong glass reveals nothing but the most trivial tick or two, nothing distracting at all. Solidly in the Condition Census. PCGS 13, NGC 20, CAC 10. Only a single PCGS/CAC example has ever sold in auction, realizing $14,688. The only other CAC coin was this one when it was NGC-certified, selling in November 2013 for $12,925. This well pedigreed GEM is certainly worthy of a premium bid from the specialist collector. Know that since the early 20th century, this coin has graced three WORLD CLASS cabinets--it can now reside in yours! Cert. Number 28948780 PCGS # 6169
