A GEM of the first order! This lovely nickel-silver GEM is premium quality with a great visual allure. Pearly lustrous surfaces gleam all over. Well struck overall with near complete definition of Liberty's hair curls. Both sides are clean and free of any distracting marks, lines, or discolorations. It was not that long ago that this was a $30,000 coin! About six years ago, everything changed, as a small hoard of GEM examples came onto the market. That said, this MS66 is tied for second highest graded at PCGS with just 8 examples graded 66+ finer. PCGS 72, NGC 9. The prices vary dramatically, ranging from $4,200 to $11,400 in 2020. Prior to that, these were selling from $3,120 to $7,200. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $4,500. With just eight finer, this coin will end up in a high grade set for sure. Cert. Number 40875855 PCGS # 3875.00
