Lot Description

From the Chester Roche Collection. A remarkable, GEM example of this low mintage date, where only 7,100 were coined. Surprisingly there are an estimated 40 coins graded in 65 or finer based on PCGS CoinFacts estimates. The surfaces show off an rich orange-red golden toning. As you twirl the coin in a light the luster really picks up sky blue and pale lilac iridescent toning. The devices are very sharply struck from boldly clashed dies. Like many of the date, the dies clashed multiple times and the clashing is very bold with LIBERTY clear on the reverse. PCGS 10, NGC 2. Neither NGC coin ever sold in auction. In March 2018 a PCGS MS65 realized $3,600 and the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $5,250. VERY RARE any finer, and rarely offered in any higher grade. Cert. Number 666468-002 PCGS # 7565
