Ex Link, as noted on the PCGS insert. This remarkable GEM is tied for second FINEST known for the variety, behind the Specimen-66 from the Eliasberg Collection and tied with the Dale Friend coin we sold in our May 2016 Regency Auction. Purchased privately from our sister firm, Legend Numismatics on May 27, 2013, where Laura Sperber wrote: "When is the last time other than in auction you saw an earlier Bust Half offered for sale by any dealer? Earlier GEM Bust halves like this have become super rare. This coin is SUPER nice too! A full booming cartwheel type luster blazes from both sides. The surfaces are slightly semi-prooflike and are mind boggling clean and smooth. A totally ORIGINAL mix of moderate golden brown/blue/pale purple colors is evenly spread around. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have exceptional strikes. The eye appeal is wonderful! It is VERY important to note: prior to this coin selling in auction, the last 1822 Bust Half to sell was a NGC NON CAC back in 05/2011 (2 years ago!). That coin then brought $13,225.00. Yes, not only have these coins gone up in price, but they are unheard of being offered at shows anymore. We are thrilled to be able to own and present this 191 year old tremendous coin for inclusion in your set." Today, there is really not much to add to Laura's description. This is an incredible coin for any advanced type or date collector to acquire a true GEM quality Bust half that will delight even the most jaded collector. It is solidly in the Condition Census, listed as 66,66,65,65,64. PCGS 10, NGC 9, CAC 5. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $15,000 and the most recent PCGS/CAC coin to sell realized $13,513 in our May 2016 Regency Auction (which was ex Friend Collection). The present coin sold in April 2013 in for $16,450. The Eliasberg coin, also graded PCGS MS65 sold in February 2014 for $21,150 and was NOT CAC. This is a tremendous opportunity for the collector to buy one of the FINEST 1822 half dollars. Only half a dozen examples are graded finer. Believe us, there is more demand for GEM Bust halves than there is supply. Opportunities like this are rare indeed and should not be taken for granted! Cert. Number 28523322 PCGS # 6129
