The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION What a great little jewel! This SUPERB GEM half dime is also ex Gardner, so you know the quality is all there. Nearly full Prooflike reflectivity in the fields blaze through the delicate golden-tan and rose patina that gently rests on the silver surfaces, particularly on the obverse. The reverse is mostly untoned. Both sides show bold, frosty definition to the design elements. Essentially flawless, this coin has a great look and is a really high end coin! Only 13,000 were struck, of which very few survive in all grades. The obverse die was also used to strike the Proofs, which is why this coin shows so much reflection. Within weeks of his second inauguration, the war began to wind down, the exhausted Army of Northern Virginia struggled to stay alive, especially after they were pushed out of the defenses around Petersburg and Richmond fell. PCGS 3, NGC 5, CAC 5. This is the only example to have sold in auction, realizing $8,813 in October 2014. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $10,500. With a single MS67+ graded finer (a coin that has not appeared in auction), this coin is likely the very best you can hope to own. Good luck! Cert. Number 40046025 PCGS # 4386
