FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION EX GARDNER Tied for FINEST graded at PCGS, we consider this coin to be a MS67+ (no promises though); it is SUPER HIGH END! Sensational surfaces are "as struck". We looked at this coin over and over with a strong glass and did not even find a microscopic imperfection. Obviously this coin was safely stored in some kind of cardboard album for a good part of its 159 year existence. There is a strong luster that beams from all over. Heart pounding peripheral rings of totally original blue, green, violet, and gold are on both sides. Miss Liberty and the details are extremely well struck. A true overdate, the 1 is punched over the 0, and you can see the overdate clearly with a glass. The eye appeal of this coin is awesome! In the six weeks that passed between Lincoln's inauguration and Virginia leaving the union, Lincoln and General Winfield Scott pleaded with Robert E. Lee to stay in the Army, and made an offer to give him command of the entire Federal Army. When Virginia left the Union, his loyalty to his home state overrode his loyalty to the Union, and he resigned his commission in the Federal Army and joined the rebellion. PCGS 3, NGC 0, CAC 3. This coin is Ex Gardner Collection, where it brought $11,750 in June 2014. Six years is more than a drought if you are looking for one! Great coins like this seldom appear anyway. The current CAC CPG value is $12,700. If you are looking for a SUPERB GEM Seated half dime for a type or date set, opportunity knocks so loud it is deafening here! Cert. Number 29627858 PCGS # 4380
