FROM THE OAK COLLECTION This is a fabulous and high end near-GEM of this challenging, low mintage Civil War date. Only 1,140 pieces were struck and perhaps as few as 10% of that amount survive today in ALL grades with estimates ranging from 100 in the Winter/Bowers reference and 300 from PCGS CoinFacts. Regardless, a tiny portion of those survive in Mint State. This piece is clearly in the condition census with just 3 graded higher. Only when using a strong glass can you see some kind of thin Mint made line on the obverse. You can also see light striations. There are light traces of semi-Prooflike reflective texture mixed in with the glowing luster that beams from all over. There is some neat and totally original coppery color that frames all the devices. The rest of the coin is a faded orange gold color. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have generous frost. The eye appeal is great! Ex Heritage, October 2009, lot 1384; Tribeca Collection, Heritage, August 2017, lot 4110; BigMo Collection, Part II, Legend Rare Coin Auctions, December 2020, lot 27; Oak Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 4, CAC 2. This coin sold for $41,125 in our December 2020 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $47,500 and the CAC CPG is $49,700. Just a 64+, 2 in MS66 and a 66+ are graded finer. For the specialist $3 gold collector or anyone collecting superb Civil War issues, this beautiful coin is worthy of any world class set. Good luck.
