1896 $5 MS (PCGS#8392)

The Regency Auction 38

详细说明: One of the finest graded examples of this date. A lower mintage of only 58,960 is far lower than most Philadelphia mint issues of the era. While considered a generic date in lower grades, they are quite scarce in MS64 and extremely rare in GEM as here. According to Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, there are no examples in the National Numismatic Collection. The present GEM has a bold, satin radiance in the fields. The brilliant luster swirls all over the pale, yellow gold surfaces. Sharply struck and very clean, this 1896 half eagle has a great look! PCGS 3, NGC 5, CAC 3. Since 1990, there have been three examples sold in auction combined between PCGS and NGC! Only one PCGS/CAC example has ever sold, realizing $16,100 in June 2010, nearly a decade ago! The current CAC CPG value is listed at $18,200. Just two are graded finer, a 65+ and a 66, neither of which have sold in auction. This coin is worthy of a very strong bid and placement is a very high end Registry Set. Good luck! Cert. Number 38744557 PCGS # 8392.00
