- FROM THE BRUCE MORELAN COLLECTION Ex Stellar Collection, as noted on the holder. This is the SINGLE FINEST 1798 Wide Date! There is nothing else graded finer than MS62 at PCGS! This coin has yet to ever appear in auction, and its brilliant, pearly silver surfaces look as fresh and vibrant as the day it was struck during the John Adams administration. Indeed, this SUPERB coin has more in common with an 1880-S Morgan dollar than your typical Mint State Bust dollar! Bright, brilliant surfaces display a full cartwheel luster the rolls vividly all over the glowing silver surfaces. Pearly silver color is tinged with just the most subtle touch of the clearest gold toning. Exquisite striking detail is bold, crisp, and complete throughout the design types, even in the centers which often come incomplete. Rotating this GEM in a light, we find zero breaks in the frosty, lustrous surfaces. A strong glass reveals some evidence of die rust and some die lines, made by the mint. We cannot find a single flaw worthy of mention anywhere, even with the aid of that powerful loupe. This B-23, BB-105 is listed as the first Notable Specimen in the 2013 revision of Bowers' Early Dollar Encyclopedia. Prior to placement in the Stellar Collection, this GEM came out of Europe in the mid to late 1990s, and it was purchased by Chris Napolitano around that time in an NGC MS65 holder. The Stellar Collector sold the coin to Bruce Morelan (via Chris Napolitano to Laura Sperber). Legend Numismatics privately placed the coin with another collector before coming home again to the Bruce Morelan Collection, which we are proud to offer here. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are no comparable 1798 Wide Dates to look at here. Indeed there are NO comparable examples of the date; the only other PCGS MS65 is the Norweb-Pogue coin which does NOT have the same visual allure and is not CAC approved. That coin sold for $141,000 in March 2017 (the same amount as the Stickney-Brand-Pogue MS64). The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $200,000 and we would not be surprised if this coin realized somewhere around that level. Bid according! Cert. Number 25583596 PCGS # 6877.00
