详细说明

Blistering, white-hot brilliant luster blazes boldly across the surfaces on this highly reflective Prooflike GEM that borders on the SUPERB grade. Tied for second HIGHEST graded in the PL designation. Indeed were it not for a couple of very tiny marks that are exaggerated by the fragile nature of the frosty-finished devices and polished reflection of the fields, we have no doubt it would be a contender for CAC approval. We like the look of this well struck beauty quite a bit! While the mintage was low, only 228,000 were struck, large quantities were saved at the time of issue in treasury vaults. Until the 1930s, the 85-CC was a major rarity, but slowly some were released through dealers such as John Zug. In 1955, several bags came out of other Treasury vaults, and again a few probably came out in 1962-64, before a large number (cited as 148,285 total that were sold by the GSA from 1972-74 and again in 1980. That these were not melted and lost to the melting pots in 1918 is a wonder and a joy for collectors today, especially when they have the OUTSTANDING eye appeal as this one! PCGS 7, NGC 2. Neither NGC coin has sold in auction, and no NGC MS66 PL has sold in nearly five years, that coin brought $2,115 in August 2014. More recently an NGC MS67 PL sold for $8,813 in April 2017. A PCGS MS66+ PL sold in April 2016 for $3,760 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $4,500. A beauty that is full of flash and luster that will delight the collector. Good luck.
