The Regency Auction 51

详细说明: An important offering, there are less than 100 known today of the original 139 struck. After the Matte Proofs of 1908 proved to be unpopular with collectors compared to the earlier Brilliant mirrored Proofs struck until 1907, the mint continued to change the process of producing Proofs. In 1909, a new finish, the Satin or Roman finish, was employed in 1909 and 1910. These were struck with specially prepared dies and planchets, just like in 1908, but were not treated after striking, leaving the surfaces with a satiny brilliance. Most survivors are in the PR63 and PR64 grades, PCGS has graded just five finer than the presently offered PR64. The presently offered PR64 has a deep, rich orange-gold patina. The surfaces have a subtly pebbly texture. The incuse devices are sharply rendered and have needle sharp, precision definition. A strong glass reveals a short line in the reverse field and the remnants of an old fingerprint in the upper right field of the reverse. Housed in an older generation blue tag PCGS holder and fresh to the market. Only 139 Proofs were struck. PCGS 24, NGC 17. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,500 and a similar looking example sold in July 2019 for $20,400. Keep in mind a PR65 will cost double. This is a very RARE and important opportunity for the collector that cannot be taken for granted. Good luck. Cert. Number 5808283 PCGS # 7958
