1856 $3 MS (PCGS#7974)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE OAK COLLECTION A lovely 1856 $3, just on the cusp of a fully CHOICE grade. Indeed in the old days, if this coin had been cataloged as such, we would not have batted an eye. While the mintage of Philadelphia mint threes essentially halved again, there were enough saved that this date is still somewhat available in grades up to MS64. That said, this MS62+ has a lot to offer the collector. Fully original surfaces have a rich apricot tinged gold that is brought to the fore by a thickly frosted satiny sheen. There are some light lines seen under a glass, but there is little appreciable contact to be found anywhere, even with the aid of a strong glass. The eye appeal is great for this grade. PCGS 64, NGC 52, CAC 10. There are only 3 in MS62+ at PCGS and none have sold in auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $5,250. No PCGS MS62 CAC has sold since April 2012--a decade ago, and the last PCGS MS63 CAC sold two years prior to that! WOW! that is RARE for sure! Cert. Number 37703754 PCGS # 7974
