Some years ago, a small group of absolutely pristine GEM and finer 1859 half dimes was slowly graded and released into the market. We have no doubt that this STUNNING MS67+ came from that small group. Incredibly lustrous surfaces radiate and glow boldly all over. Shimmering surfaces have a vivid gleam that highlights the truly beautiful pale blue, teal, and amber-rose tones. Sharply struck devices and essentially perfect surface quality combine for a huge coin in a tiny package! PCGS 29, NGC 11, CAC 15. There are 17 in MS67+ reported in the Population Report, but we suspect that a good number are duplicate submissions in hopes of getting a 68 grade. The most recent example we sold brought $4,935 in March 2020. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,250. There are a half dozen graded higher, MS68+ finest, one of which we sold for nearly $26,000 in May 2018. This jewel is a SUPERB type coin worthy of the finest of sets! Cert.
