1916 5C Doubled Die Obverse MS (PCGS#3931)

The Regency Auction 51

详细说明: We unhesitatingly call this coin a GEM AU. The quality could not be any better for the grade! Extremely clean surfaces dominate this piece. Only when using a strong glass could we find a small hidden tick on the cheek. There is a natural light luster beneath the totally original deep nickel toning. All of the details exhibit light original wear. You do not need a glass to see the doubled date. The eye appeal is superb for an AU50 coin! The doubling is boldly visible at the date and the lower feather. The error is very rare and in demand in all grades. First discovered in the 1960s, and reported in the July 1962 Numismatic Scrapbook magazine. Today, the estimates range from about 200-400 examples, most in mid range circulated grades like VF. Very rare in AU, and nearly prohibitively so in Mint State. PCGS 16, NGC 6, CAC 3. VERY hard to find in this grade with CAC approval, this coin last sold nearly five years ago in our October 2017 sale of the High Octane Collection, realizing $28,200 on an estimate of $25,000-$27,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,000 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $29,000. This coin will be a wonderful addition to any AU/BU set! Cert. Number 44268258 PCGS # 3931
