详细说明

Ex. Col. Green-Newman, as noted on the insert. This exceptionally well pedigreed O-106 is the FINEST KNOWN of this Rarity-4- die marriage. Ranking at the top of the Tompkins Condition Census and well above anything listed in Overton, this is a CHOICE Mint State coin with a great old time look. This is a sensational Draped Bust half dollar. Both sides are richly toned from long term storage in an old envelope or album while it was contained in the Newman holdings. An exquisite and brilliant luster radiates boldly from below the bluish-green, gold, rose, and antique silver toning. The strike is bold, save for a trifle bit of weakness in places, but the definition is better than usually seen on this date. Regardless of die marriage, PCGS has graded just a single MS63 finer. Ex. Col. E.H.R. Green Collection; Green Estate; St. Louis Stamp & Coin (Burdette Johnson and Eric Newman); Eric P. Newman Collection; Eric P. Newman Educational Society, Heritage, November 2013, lot 33425 (as NGC MS62); Dr. Charles Link Collection; purchased by our consignor from Dr. Link in January 2018. PCGS 4, NGC 2. The most recent PCGS MS62 (the only other one to sell in auction, realized $33,600 in March 2018. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $41,500. Note the world-famous Pogue Collection contained only a PCGS MS61 which realized $32,900 in May 2015. This is an important coin for the date collector looking for one of the FINEST 1805 half dollars that exists! Good luck! Cert. Number 31407646 PCGS # 6069.00
