THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION PART II This is a gorgeous HIGH END example of this extremely challenging and RARE 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! John C. Breckinridge, the former U.S. Vice President under James Buchanan, became the Confederate Secretary of War in February 1865—the fifth appointed by Jefferson Davis over the course of the war. The first was Leroy Pope Walker, followed by Judah P. Benjamin, George W. Randolph, James Seddon, before Breckinridge. PCGS 4, NGC 4, CAC 1. This coin last traded in August 2017 for $42,300. Today the PCGS CAC CPG value is $54,400. This coin is the ONLY opportunity you will find for buying a CAC beaned 1865 unless you want to pay over $100,000 for an MS66. This coin will be a great addition to ANY GEM set! Cert. Number 15938960 PCGS # 7986.00
