This PQ example is far superior to the majority of 1854s in GEM. Velvety, creamy, underlying luster makes the surfaces really pop in the light. The surfaces are richly toned in a dappled blue, lilac, slate, pewter melange. The details are sharply impressed from a bold blow from the heavily clashed and cracked dies. The eye appeal is great. PCGS 15, NGC 4, CAC 12. Do not let the CAC Population figures fool you, its been four years since one sold in auction, realizing $6,900 in April 2018. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $5,610. We sold a PCGS MS66+ CAC in September 2021 for $7,344. We expect this totally original PQ GEM will bring a strong bid for sure. Good luck! Cert. Number 25662365 PCGS # 3670
