This is the SINGLE FINEST 1909 Mint State half that exists! Not a rare date in an absolute sense, even in MS65, but it is UNIQUE in SUPERB grade, and the present beauty is well worthy of its lofty grade and CAC approval. It is not only high end from the technical standpoint but it is also a beauty! WOW! Intensely brilliant luster swirls with vibrant and vivid rolling cartwheels on both sides. The brilliance has some light hints of flashy Prooflike reflection. A blush of peripheral orange and olive gold patina graces both sides, more boldly on the reverse. This SUPERB GEM is very well struck for the date with full, sharp, crisp definition on both sides. The surfaces are PRISTINE and flawless. What a GORGEOUS and beautifully preserved example. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $50,000 and as the SINGLE FINEST KNOWN we would think that level will be surpassed when it crosses the block. Good luck! Cert.
