FROM THE ERIC H. TEMPLETON COLLECTION This is the FINEST KNOWN B-4, BB-232, and what a magically CHOICE specimen it is! This variety is considered the Narrow Date variety. Described by the catalogers at Stack's in 1984, as: "Wholly prooflike, it almost has the appearance of a restrike...An incredible specimen and certainly one of the finest extant..." We could not agree more! The fields are extremely watery with a bold reflective flash throughout. The glittery reflection makes the iridescent toning on both obverse and reverse really pop. The soft pastel blues and peachy-rose gold hues are subtle in the centers, more pronounced and dramatic towards the peripheries. There are a few tiny contact ticks seen in the obverse and reverse fields and there are the most subtle adjustment marks seen on IBERT in LIBERTY. The strike is keenly impressed from a precision, well centered blow from the dies. Virtually every minute detail is crisply rendered from the strike. Needless to say this coin is special and the eye appeal is SUPERB! In Dave Bower's 2013 revision of the early silver dollar Encyclopedia, he lists this coin as two separate entry's in the list of Notable Specimens, but David Queller bought this amazing coin from the Stack's December 1984 auction, as seen in the pedigree below: Ex. Dr. Constantine D.J. Generales Collection, Stack's December 1984, lot 1254; David Queller Collection; Heritage's sale of the David Queller Silver Dollar Collection, April 2008, lot 2080; intermediaries; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction VI, February 2014, lot 183; Cardinal Collection; Stack's Bowers, October 2015, lot 46 (as NGC MS63). PCGS 2, NGC 0. NO PCGS MS63 has ever sold in auction. The most recent auction appearance for any PCGS Mint State B-4, BB-232 was the D. Brent Pogue MS62. This coin is more visually alluring with its fully Prooflike surfaces and colorful toning! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $110,000 (for the overdate in general) and $85,000 (for the Narrow Date). This is an important rarity and worthy of the FINEST of early dollar sets! If you are looking for just one really neat early dollar for a type or box of twenty, this one will also certainly fit the bill. Expect intense bidding on this one! Cert. Number 35137905 PCGS # 40090.00
