详细说明

One of the absolute FINEST KNOWN examples of the O-101a die state, the Patched 3. The earlier die state is the Broken 3. Later on, one of the mint engravers fixed the split between the top and bottom loop of the 3, creating this variety. The Overton Census is listed at 66,66,65,65,64. and this one is at the very top of Stephen Herrman's list in the AMBPR Spring 2021 revision (as NGC MS66), and is tied with the Eliasberg-Kaufman-Pogue coin which was at one time also graded MS66 by NGC. A marvelously preserved GEM example, totally original and possessing of a classic, old time collection look. Incredible brilliant luster radiates all over, highlighting a golden-gray patina that shows rich sea-green accents at the peripheries. Both sides are crisply struck up with full definition in the devices on both sides. The surfaces are nearly pristine, flawless to the naked eye. The visual allure and technical qualities are all off the charts! Ex. The Virginia Cabinet, Heritage, April 2015, lot 5078 (as NGC MS66); Dr. Charles Link Collection; private purchase by our consignor in January 2018. PCGS 3, NGC 0, CAC 3. Numerically there is one graded higher the Pogue MS65+--that said, the Eliasberg-Kaufman-Pogue coin brought more. This coin, as an NGC MS66 brought $29,375 in April 2015. We expect strong bidding, and a realization above the current Collectors Universe value of $30,000 would not be surprising. A great Red Book variety that is VERY RARE so fine! Cert.
