1918/7-D 5C MS (PCGS#3939)

The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: A very pleasing, "GEM" AU caliber example of this very important, KEY overdate issue. One of the very rarest dates in the series, the 8/7 was not discovered for some one dozen years after they were struck, offered for the first time in Paul Lange's March 1930 auction. Rare in all grades, especially so in Mint State, the presently offered example is very high end and would fit nicely in a great set. Wonderful, original, tan-gold patina is evenly dusted across both sides, showing off delicate olive, lilac, and pewter hues. Both sides show just the barest trace of perceptible wear in the form of the slightest touch of high point friction. Well struck and displaying a soft, satiny lustrous sheen below the original toning, this coin has a great eye appeal. We think CAC was way too tight when this coin went in, we see no reason why it did not get a green CAC sticker. In our opinion, it is high end and should have been. PCGS 42, NGC 26. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $24,000 in September 2019 and prior to that, we sold one in July 2018 for $28,200 (those were CAC approved). Apparently no non-CAC CPCGS graded coin has sold in auction since 2012. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $30,000. VERY RARE any finer, this is a great coin for someone looking to fill this hole in their set. Good luck! Cert. Number 36306327 PCGS # 3939
