The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION A totally original GEM 1863 Proof dollar! Clearly this coin was lovingly stored for generations. Clearly this beauty rested in tissue or some sort of paper envelope for ages, where a wonderful mix of olive, tan, gold, pewter, russet, and rose patina blends together on both sides over vividly brilliant, watery reflective mirrored fields. The design elements are generally well struck and crisply defined. Only under the most intense scrutiny with a strong glass can you find any light lines anywhere, all hidden by the wonderful originality of the toning. The eye appeal is excellent. The campaign in Tennessee garners an important victory for the Union, as the climactic Battle of Chattanooga in late November provides a great tactical advantage to the North. By disabling supply lines through the capture of Chattanooga’s railway junction, the Union army is able to regroup and prepare for the push south after the losses at Chickamauga. Only 460 Proofs were struck for collectors. PCGS 6, NGC 13, CAC 1. This marvelous GEM has been off the market since 2013, when it realized $17,028. As the ONLY PR65 with CAC approval and one of only a handful of PR65's graded by PCGS, we know bidding will be strong. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $16,000 and this GEM will likely surpass that level again. Good luck! Cert. Number 25042154 PCGS # 7006
