1864-S H10C MS (PCGS#4385)

The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION A spectacular half dime with intense quality and eye appeal! Tied for FINEST graded at PCGS, it is clearly a remarkable survivor. An intense, radiating luster beams vibrantly all over. A thick, pearlescent sheen glows throughout the silky silver surfaces. The obverse is dusted by a soft golden hue, while the reverse has a richer cobalt blue at the left side, blending into a peach-gold and amber, before yielding to spots of original untoned areas of vibrant silver. Well struck and very pleasing, this coin has a ton of eye appeal. The mintage was relatively small, only 90,000 half dimes were struck, of which PCGS CoinFacts estimates 175 survive in all grades. Most are circulated, and a good number have flaws. PCGS 5, NGC 4, CAC 3. We do not doubt that this coin is RARER than the populations suggest. The last PCGS MS66 sold in the 2000 ANA auction; essentially two decades ago! There are NONE FINER. The only relevant "comparable" APR's to this incomparable GEM are an NGC MS66 that brought $4,935 in October 2015 and an ICG MS67 that brought a record $7,931 in the June 2014 sale of the Gene Gardner Collection. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $6,750 and the CAC CPG value is $6,880. When this coin crosses the block do not be surprised if it realizes a world record price! Cert.
