详细说明

FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. Ex Simpson Collection. A memorable and gorgeous CHOICE Mint State example of this very popular Red Book variety. While on the whole, the variety rates as R-3, most known are lower circulated grades and many are impaired. MS63 and finer examples are VERY RARE and very rarely seen in auction! From our December 2015 Regency Auction XV, where it was described as: "LM-1. Fantastic toning from decades in an album where the rims developed incredible neon green and blue shades, with the centers fading over to crimson and purple. Fiery luster beneath and the strike is very strong for this condition rarity. Only a handful are known in Mint State and this choice example will stand tall amongst even the very finest. Rarely are these early silver coins found with such splendid toning! The surfaces are pleasing with little more than a few shallow lines and for identification there is a minor planchet void below the right wing of the eagle, just touching the talon on the cloud nearby. This is known as the LIKERTY variety because of the broken B punch used to engrave that word, which has the appearance of an errant K rather than the intended B. "This coin is tied with at most five others as the fifth finest of the variety. Its color and surfaces make it stand tall and it would undoubtedly measure up well against even technically finer examples. This is one that no collector will ever want to part with, unless a significantly higher grade coin became available. Its color and allure will always be memorable." PCGS 4, NGC 1, CAC 1. This was the most recent MS63 to sell in auction, realizing $37,600 in December 2015. NO OTHER CAC-approved Mint Sate coin has ever sold in auction! That just goes to show how rare these are. Bound for an amazing type or date set, and worthy of a very strong bid! Cert. Number 25304183 PCGS # 4254
