FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION From our sale of the Valley Collection in our May 2016 Regency Auction, where we described it as: A fabulous GEM Proof No Motto Half! Extra deep mirrors beam boldly from all over. They have superb clarity, are super clean, and have intense reflectivity. If you twirl the coin, the mirrors look like a freshly made highly polished sheet of glass. A light partial original mix of lavender/deep pewter/deep champagne color basically adorns the peripheries all over. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have thick silvery frost. The eye appeal is pretty and powerful!" One of the most famous battles of all time was fought in a small farming town in Pennsylvania, named Gettysburg. As Lee's forces marched north, rumor hit that there was a supply of shoes in Gettysburg. A division of troops from A.P. Hill's corps went into town, where they encountered a force of dismounted federal cavalry. The ensuing battle lasted from July 1-3, 1863, ending in a massive frontal assault on union lines famously known as Pickett's Charge. In the end, both sides suffered huge losses, over 50,000 were killed, wounded, captured, or went missing. Only 460 Proofs were struck. PCGS 5, NGC 2, CAC 3. This GEM was the last one to sell in auction, realizing $8,225. Clearly this coin is worth well in excess of the published values. Just three PCGS coins have graded finer in the CAM designation, none of which have ever sold in auction. Good luck. Cert. Number 25002093 PCGS # 86417
