FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION All we can say is WOW! How did this coin survive in such a remarkable state of preservation during the turbulence of the Civil War? Exceedingly clean and satiny surfaces are really special to behold. Even if you use a strong glass and try and pick the coin apart, there is really nothing to growl at. A very strong glowing luster beams from all over. Both sides are a dreamy original white. There is a single mint made planchet flaw on the reverse, which will identify this piece for pedigree purposes. We do not believe this coin has ever been messed with. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and have strong frost. The eye appeal is superb! The mintage was fairly large, and in lower grades, the 1861 is a common coin. However in such a lofty state of preservation, this date is VERY RARE. Struck at the start of the conflict, these would eventually be pulled from circulation as Northerners hoarded gold and silver coins, as the Union Army’s offensive campaign failed to bring a quick end to the rebellion. PCGS 8, NGC 2, CAC 3. PCGS has graded only one coin higher, a MS67+. NO PCGS CAC coin has ever been sold via auction. The current Collectors Universe Value is $15,000. It is our (and Legend Numismatics) opinion these have been unfairly overlooked value wise in the past few years. It has been five full years since ANY MS67's have sold in auction, and this one has been off the market since 2006; that is FRESH! Cert. Number 14534132 PCGS # 5454
