详细说明

Among the 10 highest graded examples at PCGS, this colorful GEM is high end and the definition of Premium Quality and originality. A beautiful array of fuchsia, sky blue, tangerine, and gold varying in intensity from neon-like to pastel iridescent are focused at the rims, blending to lighter hues at the centers. The reverse is more subtle, probably where the coin sat in an old cabinet tray, enveloped with a slate-blue, olive-gold patina. The colors are emboldened by a warm, underlying satiny brilliant mint frost. Sharply struck up devices are very strong for the issue, with no weakness at the usual spots. Few examples can hold a torch to this borderline SUPERB GEM! PCGS 21, NGC 4, CAC 8. There are six graded MS66+ at PCGS and there are just three finer. This coin brought $7,200 in the 2021 ANA auction, and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,000. We sold the most recent PCGS MS67 CAC a month after this coin sold, realizing $24,675. This beauty seems like a great value to us. Bound for a world class Barber half dollar set. Cert. Number 42301067 PCGS # 6477
