详细说明

Ex Col. E.H.R. Green and Eric P. Newman Collections, per the accompanying NGC insert and plate matched to the sale catalog. One of the FINEST KNOWN O-101s! Boasting that classic colorful, circular album toning that is associated with many of the Newman coins, this lustrous coin has the initial visual allure of a GEM. The first of two distinct overdate varieties for the year, O-101 has the Square Based 2 in the date, as opposed to the O-102 that has the Curl Based 2 punch. Both are fairly common, although in this lofty state of preservation, there is nothing common about either variety. This coin sits firmly in the Condition Census which is listed as 66,65,64,64,64. The colorful album toning frames the brilliant, untoned silver centers. Deep blue, pale gold, and soft amber-orange tones blend together wonderfully. While not distracting to the unaided eye, a strong glass does reveal a few stray lines that account for the assigned grade. The devices are sharply detailed, with complete definition imparted by a precision blow from the dies. The well-preserved surfaces show off a vibrant mint luster and classic toning pattern that impart a wonderful eye appeal that is tremendous. Not only is the eye appeal great, but with the great Col. Green- Newman pedigree, this coin has a lot to offer! PCGS 5, NGC 3. The most recent PCGS coin to sell in auction was in our May 2016 Regency Auction, where the CAC-approved Link Collection example realized $18,213. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $16,500. Note that there are only two coins graded finer at PCGS, an MS65 and an MS65+ (Ex Soros and Pogue) at the top of the Census. What a grand opportunity for the advanced collector to own one of the FINEST 1820/19 half dollars that exists! Cert. Number 80826401 PCGS # 6125
