1860-S $3 MS (PCGS#7981)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE OAK COLLECTION. WOW, is this a RARE coin! One of only seven 1860-S $3 gold pieces graded Mint State by PCGS, with just two in MS62 graded higher. Just 7,000 were struck and these went right into commercial channels. The finest known is the yet to be certified Eliasberg-Bass coin cataloged as MS65 in the 1982 Bowers & Ruddy sale and has been impounded in the Bass Core Collection ever since (on display at the ANA Money Museum). This is a very attractive example for the assigned grade. A fully Mint State example with a fully unbroken mint luster and free of any kind of friction any where. The strike is bold and complete for the date, with strong definition throughout. The luster is quite bold for a coin of this grade. While there are some minor lines and thin scratches seen with the aid of a strong glass, these are appropriate for the assigned grade and do not detract the unaided eye. The visual allure is excellent. PCGS 4, NGC 1. A PCGS MS61 just sold in the Stack's Bowers March 2022 sale of the Huberman Collection, a coin that had been off the market since the 1978 sale of the Harold Bareford Collection, realizing $28,800. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $37,500. There are just two in MS62 graded finer, and it has been off the market since the October 1999 sale of the Harry Bass Collection. A real prize for the sophisticated collector! Good luck. Cert. Number 38026693 PCGS # 7981
