Despite a generous mintage of nearly 2 million, very few survive in choice Mint State or finer states of preservation. It is especially RARE in MS65 or higher. This is a fresh, totally original GEM with a warm satiny luster and soft olive, robin's egg blue, tan, and gold hues suggestive of long time envelope storage. Bluntly struck, there is some weakness to the feather details on the reverse, but the central obverse is bold. Just a few tiny ticks are noted in the fields, which is what we think kept this original coin from getting a CAC bean, and they do not really detract from the strong naked eye appeal. PCGS 9, NGC 11. There are just four coins finer. The last two sold for $3,290 one in August 2017 and the other in August 2016. The current PCGS value is $4,500. There are 2 in 65+ and 2 in 66 finer, but they have been off the market for at least five years, so who knows when you will have the opportunity to bid on another! Cert. Number 36777701 PCGS # 006290
