1846-O $5 MS (PCGS#8230)

The Regency Auction 27

详细说明: One of the finest graded examples of this date, there are only seven coins in all Mint State grades at PCGS finer. This is a very scarce and difficult New Orleans date to find in such a lofty grade. To find one with any skin or originality is even harder. Most of the 75-85 estimated to survive (per Doug Winter, 2006) are in VF and XF grades, with coins in AU grades elusive and in 58 or finer extremely rare. Wonderful, original gold color is brought out by a strong satiny luster. Only the lightest brush of friction on the high points can be seen. The details are nicely rendered, showing a strong, though not quite fully defined. Some teeny marks are noted, but none are distracting and you do need a strong glass to find them. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 10, NGC 24, CAC 5. No CAC-approved example has ever sold in auction. The most recent PCGS example was the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection coin that realized $14,400. Prior to that one selling, an example sold in June 2017 for $7,638. As a CAC-approved, and highly original example, this piece should sell in excess of the current PCGS Price Guide value of $7,500. None of the seven PCGS graded coins that are finer have ever sold in auction, the finest is MS62. A single NGC MS63 is the finest, last sold in Stack's 1995 sale of the Ed Milas Collection. A real prize for the New Orleans $5 specialist, good luck! Cert. Number 28868830 PCGS # 8230
