1855 $3 MS (PCGS#7972)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE OAK COLLECTION The second year of the series saw the mintage drop by more than 50%, with 50,555 falling off the dies in 1855. While somewhat available in MS63 and lower Mint State grades, this date is RARE in MS64, and VERY RARE in MS64+ or finer. This is a purely original and very impressive example, with definitive claims to a GEM grade. The surfaces are impeccable and very clean with a sensational vibrance and billowy luster. Rich golden patina, with splashes of tangerine-rose, is accented by a lemon-yellow that bursts off the surfaces. The strike is incredibly sharp and crisp, with fully formed, frosty details. If you put a strong glass to the surfaces all you will find are a few stray, superficial lines that account for the grade, and all that keeps this from being a $25,000 GEM! Ex Heritage, August 2013, lot 5818; Stack's Bowers, October 2015, lot 63; Doug Winter; Oak Collection. PCGS 31, NGC 21, CAC 11. There are just 3 in MS64+ and six finer. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,000 and it jumps to $35,000 in MS65. This is an important opportunity for any collector of gold type or a specialist collecting high end $3 gold. Bidding will be intense! Good luck. Cert. Number 36647740 PCGS # 7972
