Ex Eliasberg, as noted on the PCGS insert. While there are three coins graded finer than this one at PCGS, you cannot beat the high end eye appeal and the legendary Eliasberg pedigree. Even in a collection like Eliasberg, the cataloger of that sale, somewhat hyperbolically, described it as "...one of the finest Capped Bust half dollars in existence regardless of date." Its R-1 status makes this very high end, PQ GEM a prime candidate for a SUPERB type set. A glowing, brilliant satin luster blooms all over, providing illumination in the fields surrounding the sharply struck up devices. Every device is crisply impressed into the planchet on both sides. Struck from a slightly later state of the obverse die, with the star points closest to the milling drawn to the edge, and the dentils are weak in areas. A warm golden tone with some richer hints of blue-green tone can be seen in the peripheral details. The fields are smooth and very high quality, indeed, even using a strong glass, we are hard pressed to find single flaw of any kind using a powerful glass. The epitome of this grade! From the George Earle Collection, Henry Chapman, June 1912, lot 2939; John H. Clapp; Clapp Estate to Louis Eliasberg, en bloc, via Stack's in 1942; Louis Eliasberg Collection, Bowers and Merena, April 1997, lot 1859; intermediaries; Gene Gardner Collection, Heritage, May 2015, lot 98456 (as PCGS MS65+ CAC). PCGS 4, NGC 6, CAC 5. There has never been a PCGS MS66 CAC sold in auction, and the most recent PCGS-graded example to sell was back in April 2009! We sold a PCGS/CAC MS65+ for $16,450 in our December 2017 Regency Auction. As a PCGS MS65+ CAC, this remarkable GEM brought $17,625. In MS66, the Collector's Universe value is listed at $22,500. Only three coins are finer, including the Eliasberg-Pogue O-103 that brought $28,200 in February 2016. This remarkable GEM will delight and entice any type or half dollar collector with its seductive look! Worthy of a very strong bid and a world class collection! Cert. Number 35557317 PCGS # 6156
