1896 50C MS (PCGS#6474)

The Regency Auction 56

详细说明: Truly a GLORIOUS borderline SUPERB GEM 1896 half dollar. This coin is as brilliant and vibrant as it was the day it came off the dies! Radiating a sensational mint brilliance, the luster is flashy with frosty devices. Virtually untoned, the surfaces blaze with a blast white silver sheen that gleams all over. The strike is crisp, with bold, sharply defined details on both sides. The surfaces are ultra clean and are on the very cusp of a SUPERB grade. The eye appeal is stunning. This superb example has a great pedigree: Ex John C. Hugon Collection, Heritage, January 2005, lot 4211; Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Part Two, Heritage, January 2011, lot 5574; Cody Brady Collection, Part IV, Heritage, July 2022, lot 3110. PCGS 5, NGC 3, CAC 3. There are four in MS66+ and just two MS67 graded finer at PCGS. The only example to sell in auction realized $17,625 in the 2016 FUN auction ( a weaker market). The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $20,000 and keep in mind its been many years since the Price-Duckor-Greensboro Collection MS67 sold, realizing nearly $26,000 in October 2015. A prize for the collector working on a top ranking set that cannot be overlooked. Good luck. Cert. Number 50138088 PCGS # 6474
