From the South Texas Collection. ALWAYS a popular date, the first year of the denomination struck, and highly sought after in all grades. Usually seen either in low grade or with problems, the present AU58+ has a great look and offers a lot of coin for the money. There is a distinctive "flash" in the fields, with a neat semi-reflective luster, on both sides. A delicate teal, olive, gold, and blue iridescent toning frames the devices, giving it a nearly cameo look. The Robert Scot's design elements are nicely struck up. A close inspection with a powerful glass does reveal a few, tiny stray marks hidden by the outstanding, original luster. What a great example of this "Blue Chip" rare coin! Easily identified as a JR-1 thanks to the die cud at Star 1. PCGS 25, NGC 30, CAC 6. This is the ONLY AU58+ graded at either service. This coin has not appeared in auction as an AU58+. Only a single PCGS AU58 approved by CAC has ever sold in auction, a JR-4 that sold for $27,600 in the 2012 ANA auction. A PCGS MS61(no CAC) sold in March 2018 for $39,600. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $21,250 and we expect that this GEM AU will sell for that, or more! A real prize for anyone working on an early dime or type set! Worthy of a strong bid! Cert. Number 10174614 PCGS # 4461
