What a great looking PQ GEM Mint State example of this date! It is exceptional in EVERY WAY. Both the obverse and reverse of this spectacular coin have a rich, beaming luster with swirling cartwheels and some semi-reflective flash. The luster enhances the razor sharp definition to the classic John Reich design and ultra smooth surface quality. We note a small mark in the obverse field, but it is not distracting to the overall quality and eye appeal of this beauty. Lovely original toning, mostly in shades of blue and rose yield to brilliant pewter-silver tinged with gold. We have looked this GEM over and over with a glass, and we are not sure why CAC chose not to bean this one, the quality is all there! A Condition Census level O-101a, an easily identifiable die marriage. The die variety is identified by a short die crack at the bottom of the date on the obverse and a number of markers on the reverse including mostly solid shield lines, a small tine on the upper left corner of the ribbon, and the spacing of AT and AM in STATES and AMERICA. A couple of die cracks at the lower reverse define the die state. PCGS 10, NGC 16. Do not let the the fact that this coin is not CAC throw you off. This coin's quality stands right up there with CAC coins we have seen lately. It is truly high end and should be valued like a CAC coin. The most recent ones were CAC approved, selling for $18,213 and $24,000 in September and April of this year respectively. This GEM was purchased in 2009 for $24,500, a testament to the quality for sure. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $22,500. For the date, which had 20 different die marriages, only three coins have ever graded MS67 at PCGS and none of these have ever sold in auction, making this one of the absolute FINEST obtainable examples extant for the advanced date or type collector. Good luck! Cert. Number 38053662 PCGS # 6143.00
