1839 50C GR-7 MS (PCGS#531104)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART II. It is indeed an honor to offer one of the FINEST KNOWN 1839 Large Letters Reverse Capped Bust half dollars. Not only is this GEM easily among the best PCGS-graded pieces (only two have ever graded higher), it has to be one of the most beautifully toned examples as well. The GR-7 is considered Rarity-1 overall, but in GEM grades this is anything but common! WOW, this is an AMAZING example! A stunning coin! Both sides are imbued with a peripheral band of aqua-teal that melts into a coppery-rose, before stopping with a silvery-pewter in the centers. Some old fingerprints are seen in the right obverse field, blending in the toning. Nearly flawless to the naked eye, though some tiny ticks are noted with the assistance of a strong glass. The devices are sharply impressed and the eye appeal is SUPERB! Ex Larry Whitlow, via private sale in June 1992; Haig A. Koshkarian Collection, American Numismatic Rarities, March 2004, lot 82; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 6. The most recent one to sell was the O'Neal-Chicago coin that brought $34,075 in our September 2021 Regency Sale. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $40,000. Just two are graded finer, including the finest MS66 from the Larry Stack-Pogue Collections. An amazing GEM worthy of a SUPERB set. Cert. Number 35594691 PCGS # 6179
