1857 $3 MS (PCGS#7976)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE OAK COLLECTION Ex D. Brent Pogue Collection, as noted on the insert. A SPECTACULAR example of this date, the second FINEST certified 1857 $3 gold piece. Of the 275-400 estimated survivors from an original mintage of 20,891, Dave Bowers and Doug Winter estimated that only 45-60 exist in any Mint State grade. The vast majority of those are clustered in the MS62 and MS63 grades, MS64 and finer examples are EXTREMELY RARE! The Pogue coin is a marvelous GEM. Billowing golden luster radiates with a glowing yellow brilliance. The frosty brightness is intense. The devices are very sharp and the definition is crisp and fully impressed. A tiny tick or line can be found, with great effort, but do not detract from the outstanding GEM quality eye appeal! Ex Great Lakes Collection, sold privately in October 2005 to D. Brent Pogue via Larry Hanks; Stack's Bowers/Sotheby's sale of the D. Brent Pogue Collection, Part III, February 2016, lot 3096; Legend Numismatics; our consignor. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 2. This is the only 65+ graded by either service and there is just a single MS66 graded higher. Back in 2016, this coin sold for $35,250; today, in a much stronger market, the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $52,500. The MS66 has never sold in auction and is not CAC approved. If you are working on the #1 set of $3 gold with CAC approval, do not let this important opportunty pass you by! Good luck. Cert. Number 32219946 PCGS # 7976
