Ex Eliasberg and Pogue Collections, as noted on the insert. A Condition Census O-109 with the Overton listing at 67,66,66,66,65. This is a world class GEM of the first order with a SUPERB look and a fantastic provenance. If anyone wanted to know what the "Eliasberg" look is, this magnificent PQ GEM is the ideal coin to define it. A stunning and vibrant mint luster rolls vividly with an intense brilliant cartwheel vibrance. The pale, pearly-silver and soft gold patina is really brought to life by the exceptional brilliance. The golden hues deepen to an apricot-amber that clings to the outlines of the devices. The reliefs are bold and frosty with most details sharply struck up on both sides. Indeed there is just the slightest touch of striking softness on LURI of PLURIBUS on the ribbon. The eye appeal is amazing! Ex. Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, Part II, Bowers & Merena/Stack's, April 1997, lot 1875; 2003 ANA Auction, Bowers & Merena, July 2003, lot 1508; Coronado Collection; Richmond Collection, Part II, David Lawrence Rare Coin Auctions, November 2004, lot 1397; American Numismatic Rarities's June 2005 sale, lot 49; D. Brent Pogue Collection, Part III, Stack's Bowers/Sotheby's, February 2016, lot 3075; our consignor. PCGS 5, NGC 13, CAC 4. This was the most recent example to sell in auction, realizing $16,450 in February 2016. That was a weaker market. Today, the CAC CPG value is $21,000 and the Collectors Universe value is $22,500. EXCESSIVELY RARE any finer with just three graded higher, including a non-CAC MS67 that realized $51,750 a decade ago. A grand type coin with an outstanding pedigree, we expect bidding will be fierce for this one. Good luck! Cert. Number 31914881 PCGS # 39845.00
