1926 50C Sesquicentennial MS (PCGS#9374)

The Regency Auction 61

详细说明: WOW!!! This is one of the FINEST Sesquicentennials that exists! As a type, the Sesquicentennial half dollar, with its dished fields often comes with shallow, soft strikes and lack luster surfaces. It really is interesting to consider that despite a generous mintage of 141,120, relatively few survive in GEM grade, and NONE have graded in the SUPERB grades. This is the opposite of what a typical Sesqui looks like. Bold and brilliantly lustrous, well struck, and well preserved. This example is fully struck up on both sides. The reverse has a semi-reflective lustrous sheen, while the obverse possesses a more frosty-satin luster. Lovely toning at the rims frame both sides imparting a bold visual allure. This GEM Sesqui is essentially on par quality and visually with the MS66+ we sold last year. PCGS 24, NGC 33, CAC 9. This is the most recent example to sell in auction, realizing $20,400 in January 2023. Prior to that, we sold the Unforgettable coin for $18,212 in July 2022. PCGS has graded four finer in MS66+, and we sold the most recent of those for $37,600 in October 2021. Worthy of a very strong bid, and placement in a world class set. If PCGS were to grade a 67, it would be worth into the six figure range. This is a strong add Cert. Number 38522063 PCGS # 9374
