FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III A GEM Civil War date Seated Liberty half! Exceptional in every way, it is amazing that this is not the FINEST KNOWN, but it is easily among the TOP half dozen graded. Exceptionally high end and beautifully preserved surfaces have a strong pearlescent luster that blooms boldly with a pale golden iridescent tone. Sharply rendered devices stand out on the generally smooth surfaces. Under careful examination with a strong glass, we see some very minor planchet rolling lines. Some minor contact marks are seen scattered about which are almost not worthy of mention. The eye appeal is superb. PCGS 10, NGC 15, CAC 3. This is the ONLY MS65+ graded by either service. Over half a decade ago, this coin sold for $7,638 as a PCGS MS65 without the "+". The MS65+ PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $10,000 and in MS66 it jumps to $22,500. We think this one will bring a very strong bid when it crosses the block! Good luck. Cert. Number 81479150 PCGS # 6309
