FROM THE PUG COLLECTION. This is a beautifully patinated GEM AU that was sold uncertified in the January 1997 Stack's sale of the Empire State Collection, where it was described as: "Brilliant Uncirculated...Deep frosty silver lustre contrasts with pleasing clear red-gold. Bold die clash is especially visible in the stars over the eagle on this softly glowing specimen of the Draped Bust date." We think PCGS may have been a tad conservative when this B-1 was graded. It is in a PCGS "Gen 4.0" holder, which was used from 1998 to 2002, so this coin was last graded at least 17 years ago. To the Stack's description we add that that wear PCGS notes is very minor, we have seen Mint State coins with less luster, less life, and more flatness of the devices. Pewter, slate, and battleship hues blend with clear gold and rose that are brought to life by the vivid surviving luster. A GEM quality AU58 that has a SUPERB visual appeal. PCGS 15, NGC 8, CAC 4. Surprisingly scarce in lower Mint State grades, and RARE in Choice or finer Mint State grades. This coin sold in Part IV of the Gene Gardner Collection (October 2015) fro $11,750. The only other PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction was in our Regency Auction XXI (May 2017) for $11,750 as well. This one has a better look overall and has been in just two auctions in the last 22+ years, thus is not a retread and should bring serous consideration from the "everyman" set collector, or anyone who loves really high end type coins. Good luck! Cert. Number 10008118 PCGS # 5316
