FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART I. A borderline Mint State "GEM AU" super slider B-4, BB-61, one of the "Notable Specimens" listed by Dave Bowers in his 2013 Early Silver Dollar Encyclopedia. This is a conditionally challenging Rarity-3. This is the only die marriage of the year that has the Small date and Large Letters on the reverse. Fully lustrous on both sides, there are distinct accents of flashy, semi-reflective brilliance. Hints of the palest golden iridescent toning can be seen on the highest points in the central devices The devices are sharply impressed showing essentially full, complete definition. The wear, such as it is, is limited to the lightest friction on the highest points and light lines in the fields. There are no serious traces of contact or flaws of any kind, nor are there any adjustment marks anywhere. The eye appeal is quite pleasing overall on this well pedigreed example that at one time was called Mint State. Ex. Waldo C. Newcomber Collection; Col. E.H.R. Green Collection; James G. Macallister; T. James Clarke Collection; New Netherlands' 48th Sale (Clarke Collection) 1956; lot 617 (as Choice Uncirculated); unknown intermediaries; Robert Lehmann; Cardinal Collection; ANR's sale of the Cardinal Collection, June 2005, lot 17; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 4, NGC 3. The most recent example to sell brought $50,400 in April 2021 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $65,000. This is a wonderful example and note that any Mint State coin will bring a six figure price in auction. Good luck! Cert. Number 16373916 PCGS # 6860
