The Regency Auction 33

详细说明: FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. This is a marvelous GEM B-1, which ranks at or near the apex of both the Rea, et al and Tompkins Condition Censuses. Considered to be one of the scarcer of the six die marriages, considered to be R-4 in "Early Quarter Dollars" and R-3 in "Early United States Quarters." Both sides are richly toned with wonderfully original shades of blue that range from pale sky blue to a robust royal cobalt; tinges of teal, golden-orange, and emerald green dance in the light. The bold, underlying luster glitters with a smooth radiant sheen that amplifies the wonderful toning. A few of the star centers are weakly struck, otherwise, the devices show a razor sharp definition that is quite impressive. This coin was struck from the earlier state of the cracked dies, with a thin crack from the lower obverse from star 2, that curves to the tip of the bust and connects stars 12 and 13. The reverse has a crack from D through STATE, beginning and ending in the dentils. The eye appeal is outstanding! A classic, high end GEM! PCGS 13, NGC 13, CAC 6. The most recent example to sell in auction was an OGH PCGS MS65 CAC that brought $30,550 in March 2016. This GEM is ex Eugene Gardner Collection, October 2015 and is an old friend, as it was purchased from our sister firm in January 2010. Today, the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $29,500. The date is VERY RARE any finer, with fewer than 10 graded. Cert. Number 6752134 PCGS # 5356.00
