FROM THE OAK COLLECTION A MAGNIFICENT GEM! While the mintage was a solid 41,800, one of the highest for the entire denomination, precious few were saved at the time of issue, most disappearing into circulation, as they were intended. Few coins are graded MS65 at the major services, and fewer still finer. An exquisite example! The luster is blistering in its intense brilliance. The dramatic satin sheen grabs the viewer from across the room. Up close, the radial luster rolls along with a superb vibrance. Impressive striking definition on both sides, the dies imparted full details with an exacting blow. The glowing fields have just the most microscopic ticks that are only visible using a strong glass, but none of these have any affect on the AMAZING eye appeal. PCGS 14, NGC 14, CAC 5. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $16,100 and the last PCGS/CAC MS65 sold nearly five years ago. This is a very rare bird indeed, but because of its high mintage, and availability as a type coin in lower Mint State grades does not get the respect it deserves in GEM. Bid accordingly. Cert.
