详细说明

This is an exceptional CHOICE Mint State O-102 that is well pedigreed and ranks high up in the Condition Census. This example has the experimental XXX edge device, with the cross hatches coming after DOLLAR on the edge. Certified Mint State examples with this edge variant are EXTREMELY RARE, with this MS63 tied for second highest graded. The O-102 is easily identified by the row of "segments" between the eagle's head and ribbon. Very attractive, brilliantly lustrous surfaces have a bold satiny sheen that is a real delight to behold. Sharply struck from a somewhat later die state, there is a thin, short die crack at the base of the date. Antique silver gray patina has soft whispers of lilac and pale gold which is brought out by the vivacity of the mint frost. Even with the aid of a strong glass you will be hard pressed to find any flaw of significance. The eye appeal is exciting for the grade. Ex Herman Halpern Collection, Stack's, May 1998, lot 2460; Queller Family Collection, Stack's, October 2002, lot 84; Dale Friend Collection, Part II, Heritage, January 2019, lot 3348; Rare Coin Wholesalers (Steve and Michael Contursi), by private sale to our consignor, July 2020. PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 2. In its last auction appearance, this coin realized $22,800. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000 and note that NOTHING FINER has sold in auction. Indeed, this coin was the first time a Mint State XXX edge sold in auction since 2009! WOW these are extremely rare in such a lofty grade and this one will delight any collector. We anticipate strong bidding for this CHOICE and pedigreed early Bust half. Cert. Number 39522015 PCGS # 6093.00
