详细说明

A key date that is seldom found in high grades like this! Only 41,000 were struck and today it is estimated that only 100 are known in all grades. Mint State pieces are prohibitively rare and seldom offered. It is noteworthy that the last time a PCGS AU55 coin traded of this date was in 1999 when the Bass Collection die duplicates were sold. Decent surfaces that show a few minor circulation nicks and marks, but the strike is full on Miss Liberty’s curls. The reverse has minor softness on the lower portion of the eagle on his claws and the arrow feathers above. Struck in the usually seen greenish-yellow gold for the planchet, and handsome in every way. PCGS 7, NGC 14. The closest auction price worth reporting is for a PCGS AU58 coin that sold for $6,463.00 (4/15) which is slightly finer than the coin offered here, but certainly gives some guidance to bid on this condition rarity. L | This coin is being sold with no reserve. Certification Number 17265079 PCGS # 8249
