For a date that typically comes blah, this is a really nice piece. The date is extremely rare in choice condition plus and is a definite "stopper" for the series in a top condition. Finding a GEM is harder than unearthing a fabled blue diamond!
We assure you that this coin is lock MS64 every time. Overall, the surfaces are clean and smooth. Only with a really strong glass can you find a tick or two. The reverse is slightly above average in terms of cleanliness. No question this piece is 100% original. Both sides are even deeper gold with highlights of orange gold. There are no spots or discolorations. All of the details are sharply struck. The eye appeal is super!
PCGS 21, NGC 21, CAC 8. The current Collectors Universe value is $40,000. PCGS has graded only 11 coins higher-of which one one, the MS65 is CAC'd. Do not be fooled by the pops, in true choice and better this is an exceedingly rare date. we must warn you-after this piece is sold, you won't find another for a very long time! A great coin destined for a great collection.
