Ex Norweb Collection, as noted on the insert. A beautiful and totally original near-GEM that ranks at the TOP OF THE POP at PCGS for this year. Despite a mintage of 1,766,000, and its reputation as a "common" date in lower grades, it is quite elusive in any Mint State grade, and unknown finer at PCGS. This mottled, iridescent toned borderline GEM is totally original with a classic old time collection look. Well struck devices have a razor sharp definition. There are a few very minor contact marks seen under close magnification that keeps this from a full GEM grade, but the eye appeal is simply stunning! PCGS 14, NGC 5, CAC 4. The most recent example to sell in auction was not CAC approved and sold for $6,300 in February 2020. Prior to that, we sold a PCGS/CAC piece back in May 2016 for $5,640. The PCGS and CAC CPG values are out of date. NONE are graded finer at PCGS, making this a spectacular example for type or date! Good luck. Cert. Number 25342212 PCGS # 6245.00
