FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION EX GARDNER One look and it is easy to see why this coin ranks as one of the very FINEST GRADED. Gene Gardner called it "a hypnotically perfect coin for collectors like me who prize natural toning." He forgot to add, and the best quality! Shimmering surfaces are flawless. We used a strong glass and could not find any problems of any size, anywhere. The surfaces are super sleek yet satiny. There are very faint hints of semi-prooflike mirrors. The luster is above average and beams well from all over. Both sides are partially bathed in an original blend of pale gold, pale plum, and caramel colors. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are fully struck The eye appeal is wonderful! The mintage of 932,000 was about 20% that of the 1861, following the trend that due to hoarding, the mintages dropped. This SUPERB GEM ranks as tied for FINEST graded at PCGS. Throughout 1862, Lincoln’s focus on the war changed from not just restoring the Union, but also freeing the slaves in the southern states. Throughout the summer, his administration worked on the language for the Emancipation Proclamation. Wanting to be in a position of power when announced, he waited until the victory at Sharpsburg to announce his plan. It took effect on January 1, 1863, freeing the slaves in the Confederate States. PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. This coin last sold via public auction at the Gene Gardner sale in June 2014, where It brought $25,850. We think SUPERB GEM FINEST Known Mint State Seated pieces like this are grossly overlooked and undervalued in the price guides. Opportunity knocks so loud here! Cert. Number 6359459 PCGS # 5456
