A marvelous O-112, a VERY CHOICE example that is just under the Condition Census for this variety. Sharing the reverse die with O-111 (which failed quickly in its usage, resulting in the dramatic Bearded Goddess die crack). The engraver of this die erroneously began punching the denomination upside down, with the 5 punch inverted 180 degrees, partially effaced the error, and then repunched the 5 in the proper position. This was confirmed by John Dannreuther using high resolution overlays, and Walter Breen noted this may have been the case back in 1988. This is a lovely, CHOICE Mint State example, struck from a later die state. Both sides show die fatigue with heavy flow lines at the periphery. The star points facing the rims are beginning to be drawn out, as are the tops of the letters in the reverse legend. The obverse shows multiple clash marks below the bust and into the right field. When you put a glass to the fields you will see evidence of die rust. Radiating luster highlights the smooth, near-Gem surfaces, which are devoid of any serious contact. The peripheries are toned in apricot and slate, blending to a shimmering, pearly silver-gray at the centers. The devices are generally well struck up, particularly so in the central areas. The eye appeal is very nice. Ex Harry Laibstain, via private sale, July 2017. Prior provenance unrecorded. PCGS 8, NGC 4. No PCGS MS64 has sold in auction since August 2007; that was forever ago! Very similar to the Konstantine PCGS MS63 that sold for $18,213 in our September 2018 Regency Auction and the Highland-Richard Jewell NGC MS64+ CAC, which sold for $21,600 in March 2021. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $27,500. PCGS has graded just four finer: a single MS64+ and three in MS65 (including the Vermeule-Pogue and Dale Friend coins). Expect strong bidding on this one. Cert. Number 84759061 PCGS # 6086.00
