O-115. Ex. Eliasberg/Link, as noted on the insert. A beautifully lustrous GEM, sparsely described in the original Bowers & Merena Eliasberg auction, April 1997, lot 1842 as "Sharp and well centered. Lustrous grayish brown with faint splashes of gold toning, particularly on the reverse. Choice surfaces overall. Another splendid coin." The frosty surfaces do show off a glowing mint vibrance under a delicate dusting of pearly pewter tone with the aforementioned gold accents. The strike is razor sharp with the devices fully rendered. The eye appeal is superb, and devoid of any serious lines or marks. Looking at this coin closely, we really are not sure what CAC sees that it does not have a green bean. A true GEM quality example from one of the most famous rare coin collections of all time: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Formed over the course of some 40 years, Eliasberg accomplished something no one else has ever done, forming a collection that had one of every date and mintmark of every federally issued coins (as well as extensive holdings of colonial, territorial, pattern, world, and ancient coins). Not only did he literally have "one of everything," but many have stood the test of time as the FINEST KNOWN. This one is clearly one of the FINEST of the variety, whose Condition Census is listed 66,66,66,65,65. PCGS 4, NGC 4.There are two recent PCGS-graded examples sold in auction: an O-115 that sold in February 2017 for $39,950 and the year earlier the Vermeulle-Pogue O-116 sold for $37,600. Today, the Collector's Universe value is listed at $40,000. Only a single MS66+ is graded finer at PCGS, which has never sold in auction, making this the FINEST that will be available to collectors for some time. Do not let this important opportunity pass you by! Cert. Number 28524069 PCGS # 6151
