THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION PART II A gorgeous, condition census example of this tough date. Only 10,960 were struck, of which this is one of the highest graded. Were it not for coins recovered from the S.S. Republic, there would only be a single Mint State example graded, a former PCGS MS62 that sold as part of the Harry Bass Collection in November 2000. In fact, David Akers noted that "almost all known specimens grade only VF or EF... A proof of this date is more likely to be encountered than a high grade business strike." This is a stunning example for the date. Rich orange-gold color is totally original and very pleasing. A bold luster does enhance the impressive golden color, and there are no spots or stains. There are a few tiny scattered ticks, of course NONE are serious or detract. The wear is light and cannot be seen with the naked eye and the strike is full and crisp. Typically, these are dull, crusty, and many we have seen have been cleaned. This piece is a breath of fresh air and the eye appeal is gorgeous. PCGS 9, NGC 12, CAC 4. This is the coin that sold for $28,200 back in March 2014--which at the time was tied for FINEST at PCGS. Now with crossovers from the S.S. Republic, the population has two in AU58+ and three in Mint State grades. NGC has three in MS60 and a single MS63. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $17,000 and we think today, this coin should bring a respectable bid from the advanced collector. Cert. Number 25340981 PCGS # 8635.00
