FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III A wonderful and totally original GEM graded example of this early date Seated Liberty half dollar. Indeed, between PCGS and NGC fewer than a dozen have graded MS65 or finer in all their years of grading coins. Richly frosted satiny luster blooms all over this lovely GEM. The faintest splashes of iridescent toning can be seen on both sides as you rotate the coin in a light. Very sharply struck devices stand out with a crisp definition on both sides. There is minimal contact seen anywhere, and any trace you see, you need a strong glass to find it. The eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 7, NGC 2, CAC 2. No NGC-graded example in MS65 has sold in auction since Bowers and Merena's March 1998 Boys Town Sale. The only CAC-approved MS65 to sell was the Richard Jewell Collection coin, sold in July 2013 for $10,575. The current CAC CPG value is $8,270 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $8,500. Just a single MS66 is graded finer at NGC, and it has never sold in auction. This is an important opportunity opportunity for the advanced Seated Liberty half dollar collector and we expect strong bidding. Cert. Number 667491003 PCGS # 6257
