1885 $3 MS (PCGS#8007)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE OAK COLLECTION Ex D. Brent Pogue Collection, as noted on the insert. Only 801 examples were struck for circulation, and this one is the second FINEST KNOWN and the highest graded example with CAC approval. While the mintage was tiny, early coin dealers created lists of low mintage and other desirable coins that were distributed to bank tellers and other cash handlers to look out for. As such, these sharp eyed sources and forward thinking numismatists were able to preserve a small number of coins for today's generation of collectors, most in the AU55 to MS63 range. Rich tangerine-orange golden hues blend with a brighter, yellow-gold color that gives this glorious and lustrous PQ GEM a fabulous two-tone look. The brilliant surfaces have a blend of satiny mint frost that shows off a flashy nearly Prooflike texture, especially on the reverse. Sharply struck devices stand out boldly against the smooth, clean surfaces. The eye appeal is SUPERB! Ex Great Lakes Collection, via Larry Hanks in October 2005; D. Brent Pogue Collection, Part III, Stack's Bowers/ Sotheby's, February 2016, lot 3127; Oak Collection. PCGS 6, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are only two in MS66+ and a single MS67 graded finer. This SUPERB example brought $44,650 six years ago in the depth of a bad market. Today , the market condition is totally different, and the PCGS Price Guide value is $65,000! A great coin for the FINEST of $3 gold sets. Good luck! Cert. Number 32219970 PCGS # 8007
