A large mintage of 515,000 and the discovery of several original mint sealed bags in the 1960s makes the 60-O dollar a great date for type collectors as they are available in Mint State. Most examples are lower grade Mint State coins, as expected for coins stored for ages in bags. This piece has a pearly-silver and clear gold patina over choice Mint State surfaces, indeed were it not for a thin scratch on the reverse and some microscopic scattered ticks, this coin would have the eye appeal of a GEM. Well struck and generally pleasing. PCGS 1, NGC 5. The last one to sell was likely "bought back" by the consignor, as it is way too low. An NGC example brought $8,108 in March 2014 and the current PCGS value is listed at $9,500. A GEM will cost around $40,000, so a 64+ is the highest grade that is within range of most collectors. A neat type coin Cert. Number 36066717 PCGS # 6950
