FROM THE BLUE HILL COLLECTION WOW! That is an extensive die crack-- no wonder the Scarface variety is known as the "mother of all Morgan die breaks." Like the Bearded Goddess in the Capped Bust half dollar series, this is one of the few times that a broken die becomes a hugely popular Red Book variety, in demand from all manner of collectors. A satiny lustrous surface has a pearly-silver brilliance. Well struck despite the advanced, broken state of the dies, which has a bolder, more dramatic break than the MS61 we sold in January 2020. A touch of the lightest gold kisses the surfaces, attesting to the originality. Despite the lower MS62 grade, there are no serious marks and the eye appeal is very high end for the MS62 grade level. PCGS 33, NGC 8, CAC 19. The last PCGS/CAC MS62 sold in November 2017 for $4,560 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,000. We do note that the market for these seems to have softened a little in the last year or so, making now a great time to add one of these dramatic varieties to your set at today's more affordable levels.
