1897-O 25C MS (PCGS#5617)

The Regency Auction 28

详细说明: One of the ABSOLUTE FINEST graded and KNOWN to exist. Just two coins are graded finer, and this one has an AMAZING, totally original old collection look! An iridescent layer of pleasing, old time collection patina is really brought out vividly with a bold, satiny underlying luster. Emerald, rose, and gold tones blend with aqua and lilac, the subtleties of the shades brought out in a light. Well struck with nearly full, crisp definition on both sides. Even using a strong glass, you will have a very difficult time trying to locate even the slightest flaw. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS 31, NGC 5, CAC 6. There are 19 coins graded MS66+ at PCGS, none at NGC and only two coins are graded finer. The only one to sell in auction was this coin, in our May 2018 Regency Auction, as part of the Premier Barber Quarter Collection. Our consignor has recently acquired a finer example, so he has consigned this one back to our sale. Prior to this coin selling, nothing finer than MS66 has ever sold in auction in a PCGS holder, but a regular MS66 CAC sold in June 2017 for $14,100 and one before that brought $20,563 in October 2015. This remarkable SUPERB quarter could well bring a RECORD PRICE! Cert. Number 35639375 PCGS # 5617
