The SOLE FINEST KNOWN to PCGS, this is a stunning and totally ORIGINAL, Premium Quality GEM. Everything about this coin is high end! Possessing a classic, old time collection look, this beauty has a warm, pearly pewter-silver glow in the central obverse, ringed by honey-gold, coppery-amber, and aqua-teal at the rims. The reverse is a satiny teal-tinged pearly pewter with light lilac accents. Every detail is struck up with razor-like sharpness; fully and crisply rendered by a precision blow from the dies. This is the Small CC variety. The reverse shows a network of spidery die cracks that essentially encircle that side. This coin has a classic look, reminiscent of many old time, classic collections. We can tell you that it is not the Eliasberg, Newman, Gardner, nor Battleborn Collection. The curious specialist could spend hours searching old auction catalogs trying to find this GEM, but we have not been able to locate previous auction appearances. PCGS 7, NGC 2, CAC 5. This is the ONLY MS66+ and it has never sold in auction before. The Gardner coin, which was the most recent PCGS/CAC MS66 (non-+), sold for $17,625 in October 2014. The Battleborn coin sold in the 2012 ANA auction for $18,800 (also a non+ PCGS CAC MS66). The uncertified Eliasberg coin, which Bowers & Merena called MS66 and was not graded sold for $25,300 in April 1997. Unpriced in the PCGS Price Guide, this stunning GEM should bring a serious bid from anyone building a top set of Seated half dollars or Carson City coinages. We can see this one bringing a world record price and is bound for a world class set! Cert. Number 4026905 PCGS # 6353
