The Regency Auction 33

详细说明: An exquisite GEM LM-2! There are not enough adjectives to properly convey the SUPERB qualities of this GEM 1797 half dime. To think a coin like this could survive in such PRISTINE condition boggles the mind! Obverse dies were prepared with 13, 15, and 16 stars. Sharply struck on both sides, this pleasing GEM has a strong luster that comes out with a brilliant vibrance that glows in the light and underlies a sumptuous, original patination. Golds, blues, and greens blend over pearly-silver surfaces. The design elements are very sharp overall with only some minor and typical weakness in the central devices of the eagle. Struck from clashed dies, parts of the reverse wreath can be seen in the field in front of Liberty's portrait. The eye appeal is exceptional and the quality is stunning! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the single MS65+ at PCGS, and there are only two coins finer at PCGS. We cannot find an auction record for this coin, and the last time a PCGS MS65 sold was back in January 2005, where one sold for $82,800. More recently the Lawrence Stack-D. Brent Pogue MS66 sold for $123,375 in November 2016. In MS65+, PCGS lists a value of $112,500 in their current Price Guide. This GEM has a wonderful look and freshness to the market that should elicit fierce bidding from specialists. Worthy of a world class cabinet of early type coins! Cert. Number 21817895 PCGS # 4259
