THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION PART II Among dates that have been heavily impacted by shipwreck discoveries, other than the 57-S, no other date has been impacted more than the 64-S. Back when David Akers was conducting his groundbreaking research into U.S. Gold Coins, he concluded: "Strictly graded AU specimens are decidedly rare and true mint state pieces are very rare." After the discovery and subsequent sale of the coins discovered on the wrecks of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic, this date became more available. Still today, most Mint State pieces are clustered at MS61, only 15 are graded MS62 at PCGS and just 3 finer. This coin is a rich honey-gold color with a warm, satiny, golden luster. There is a glowing radiance swirling around the well struck devices. The surfaces are devoid of any serious contact, though there is some planchet roughness on the reverse, below the eagle. The eye appeal is very high end. After General Sherman’s forces departed Atlanta on November 15, his forces arrived at Savannah on December 10. After 10 days, the outnumbered Confederates evacuate the city. Sherman’s troops take a north ward turn marching up into the Carolinas, as they began for the final campaign of the war. PCGS 15, NGC 5, CAC 2. NO CAC approved example has ever sold in auction. The most recent PCGS-graded example sold back in the 2015 ANA auction, realizing $19,975. The current Collectors Universe value is $21,500 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $23,000. EXCESSIVELY RARE ANY FINER, with just three coins graded MS63 at PCGS and none higher. What a great coin! Cert. Number 29706100 PCGS # 8942.00
