FROM THE M & S PETTY COLLECTION Ex Ashland City Collection, as noted on the insert. Among the FINEST examples extant from the first mintage of dollars from the New Orleans mint. Only a single set of dies was used to coin the 59,000 examples that fell from the dies and most went into circulation. This date is RARE at this grade level and EXTREMELY RARE any finer. This lovely coin is deeply and richly toned, but when the light hits the surfaces the color really pop; it is not dark or drab in any way. Shades of tangerine and violet really come to the fore, melding with battleship and slate blue-gray tones. Sharply impressed from an exacting and precision blow from the dies, this coin has a great look! WOW. Ex Ashland City Collection; Legend Collection #2; Legend Numismatics; our consignor. PCGS 7, NGC 1, CAC 4. We cannot find a previous auction record for this very choice example. The most recent example sold for $26,400 in the 2022 FUN auction The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $27,500 and the CAC CPG value is $28,800. We think this highly attractive and totally original example will sell for a very strong bid. Just five are graded finer at PCGS. Good luck, bidding from top tier collectors will be fierce! Cert.
