Ex Gold River Collection WOW! This is an unbelievably high end, superlative quality GEM example! While a large number of 02-S dollars were released from treasury values in the 1920s-1950s, the vast majority of these are lower Mint State grades, and this date remains quite elusive in GEM or higher grades; in MS66 and higher fewer than 80 have been graded combined between PCGS and NGC. This coin ranks among the 16 highest graded at PCGS. High end and boldly lustrous, this frosty beauty is high end and blast silver white. The surfaces are unmarred by any distracting marks of any kind. An expert strike has rendered all but the highest design elements with crisp, complete definition. The eye appeal is stunning! PCGS 65, NGC 7, CAC 12. There are just 11 coins in MS66+ and a mere five finer. An example sold in September 2019 for $26,400 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000. With just five graded higher, this date is virtually unobtainable in SUPERB condition and this coin will fit into any very carefully selected Registry Set! Cert. Number 36186953 PCGS # 7282.00
