Ex. Legend Collection. Clearly this is an old, dear friend to the Legend family. At one time, this amazing coin sat in our partner, Bruce Morelan's world class collection of Trade Dollars. Not only is this coin worthy of the MS65 grade assigned by PCGS, but it is certainly in the top 1% of all survivors of the issue. A sizeable mintage of 987,100 flowed from the Philadelphia mint, but the vast majority served their purpose, exported to the Orient; high end Mint State graded coins, especially in GEM or higher are EXTREMELY RARE. Fully struck and boldly lustrous throughout, including areas that are often soft, such as Liberty's head and upper obverse stars. Brilliant mint luster blooms with intensely frosted surfaces, which radiate boldly in a light. There are just a few tiny, microscopic breaks in the frost that are all that keep this AMAZING GEM from an even higher grade. The pearlescent sheen is the only "toning" that is seen on this otherwise snowy white beauty. PCGS 5, NGC 5, CAC 3. This coin last sold in auction back in July 2008 for $17,250 (before it was CAC), establishing the record for the grade. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,500 and this magnificent coin should bring a strong price indeed. Just three coins are graded finer, one each in MS65+, MS66, and MS67. Keep in mind that the MS66 just recently sold in the 2019 FUN auction for $63,000. Worthy of a great Type set or collection of Trade Dollars. Cert. Number 82901266 PCGS # 007034
