This CHOICE Mint State O-114 ranks squarely in the Condition Census for this scarce Rarity-3 die marriage. While the Guide Book and other references have specified both Large and Small star sizes, John Kraljevich and John Dannreuther discovered that the star punches on both types were the same, and it is either because of lapping or position in relation to the other elements that the stars appear to be larger or smaller. The Overton-Parsley 5th Edition Condition Census is listed at 65,65,65,63,60 and this example falls just behind the the Pogue PCGS MS66, Green-Newman-Konstantine PCGS MS65 CAC and the Pryor NGC MS65. A truly beautiful example, to quote Sheridan Downey's description, "The eye appeal is A+." A wonderful satiny mint luster blooms boldly under layers of burnt-orange, violet, blue, teal, and rose hues grace both sides. Sharply struck up from a middle die state, not as extensively cracked as the Newman-Konstantine, there are a few die cracks and clashes seen on the reverse. Sharply struck, this coin is ideal for any collector looking for this Rarity-3 variety. Ex Private Collector; purchased privately from Sheridan Downey, raw in 1989; Sheridan Downey's Mail Bid #45, August 2017, lot 55; our consignor. PCGS 4, NGC 0. This coin realized $27,500 in 2017 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $32,500. Anything finer will run into the six figures, with the MS65 CAC selling for $188,000 in our September 2018 Regency Auction and the MS66 Pogue coin selling for $258,500 in September 2015. We think this very CHOICE example is perfect for someone wanting one of the FINEST KNOWN without spending $200,000 to get it! We suspect that when this beauty crosses the block, the published prices will have to be revised upward. Good luck! Cert. Number 84361830 PCGS # 6088.00
