Ex Link, as noted on the PCGS holder. A wonderfully original example of this popular variety, which features yet another crude punch in the date. Clearly something was amiss at the mint with punching the date in 1823. Not only is the 3 misshapen, but close examination of the other digits, primarily the 8 and the 2 show flaws as well. Especially lustrous with sparkling semi-reflective flash that comes out while viewed under a light. Lively surfaces shows a stunning visual allure with soft dove with rose and gold evenly blending. The reverse shows some dappled blue accents as well adding to the wonderful eye appeal. Liberty's portrait is shows a boldly doubled profile, and the devices are bold and crisp, fully impressed by the heavy blow from the dies. A few thin die cracks can be seen on the reverse and the crudely formed 3 that identifies the Ugly 3 variety stands out. The grade is limited by only a few minute touches of contact inconspicuously scattered in the obverse fields; none of these have a negative effect on the very bold eye appeal. Solidly in the Condition Census for the variety, listed at 65,65,64,64,63. PCGS 6, NGC 0, CAC 2. The other PCGS/CAC coin to sell in auction was from the Hamilton Collection sold in the 2016 ANA auction that realized $22,325. While high end and original, the Hamilton coin lacked the reflective, semi-prooflike glow that this coin displays. Only a single MS65 last sold for $35,250 in the February 2016 Pogue auction. This coin has been off the market for almost a decade, last auctioned in the 2009 FUN auction's offering of the Findley Collection. Condition Census Red Book types are always in constant demand from collectors, and we can see this coin meeting with strong bidding activity. Good luck! Cert. Number 34903968 PCGS # 6134
