FROM THE OAK COLLECTION Just 7,036 $3 gold pieces were coined the year Abraham Lincoln won election as the 16th President and as a result, South Carolina seceded from the union. This vivacious GEM is clearly within the Condition Census for the date, with just four graded finer at PCGS. About as close to GEM quality as you can really expect to acquire. The surfaces are awash in a totally original orange-gold patina. The bold brilliance of the obverse is distinctly Prooflike with a strong reflective flash throughout. The devices are sharply struck, frosty, and unmolested. The fields show only the lightest microscopic lines, visible only with the aid of a strong glass. The eye appeal is sensational in every way. PCGS 20, NGC 4, CAC 9. This is the only MS64+ and PCGS Reports just a single MS66, a single MS67, and two in MS67+. While this grade is listed at $23,500 in the PCGS Price Guide value, it is highly likely that this coin will bring more; in this market, anything finer will likely bring $50,000 or more (the Akers coin brought $114,563 back in 2014!). This is a very rare and important opportunity, do not let this coin get away from you! Cert. Number 34253263 PCGS # 7980
