Lot Description

FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART II. A fully PROOFLIKE GEM GR-4. Among the finest known for the date. This is a coin that has so many WOW factors, our description will not do it full justice, this is a coin you need to see in hand to fully appreciate! The brilliant surfaces boast a fully reflective, Prooflike flash that really brings this amazing coin to life! The delicate toning really pops off the fields when the light hits them, with variegated golds and blues really sparkling. There are three parallel "slag" lines that are seen on the obverse, blending in with the surrounding toning. The devices are sharply struck, particularly so on the obverse, they are thickly frosted, contrasted against the fields. The eye appeal is fabulous! PCGS 9, NGC 18. The most recent example sold for $20,400 in September 2018 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $22,500. VERY RARE finer, this is an important opportunity for the type or date collector. Good luck. Cert. Number 35594689 PCGS # 6177
