详细说明

Sold in our October 2017 Regency Auction where it was described as: "Truly a beautiful example--fully GEM 1912 with a bold radiant luster that shines over gorgeous two-tone gold surfaces. The details are crisply defined and sharply embossed. The luster is full and complete is totally eye appealing. A tiny number of little ticks are mostly hidden and do not take away from the overall eye appeal of this stunning beauty! While the mintage of 405,000 allowed for ample survivors for collectors to be able to acquire an example, in GEM and finer grades, so few exist, making it very difficult to find one if you demand a high grade example for your collection. PCGS 10, NGC 11, CAC 5. There are a mere 3 pieces that have graded higher at PCGS, 1 in MS66+ and two in MS67. The 66+ is a featured coin in the Crow River Collection, offered earlier in this sale. The most recent MS66 to sell was the Bentley Shores Collection coin sold in the 2013 ANA auction, realizing $23,500. That coin was NOT CAC-approved, and we think that this coin will certainly see very serious bidding activity. If you missed out on the Crow River coin, here is a very rare and important opportunity for the advanced 20th Century gold collector!" On a $23,000-$26,000 estimate, it realized $30,550. The buyer unfortunately is facing some hardships and has had to put up this prize for auction. With the coin market in stronger now for rare date gold, we suspect it will realize a simlar strong price today! Cert. Number 25625492 PCGS # 8871
