1870-S 50C MS (PCGS#6329)

The Regency Auction 45

详细说明: Ex Dick Osburn Collection, as noted on the insert. An incredible example of this KEY Condition Rarity! Despite a sizable mintage of over a million pieces, this date is VERY RARE in Mint State, extremely so MS64 or finer, unknown above MS65. The present coin is among the FINEST KNOWN, ranking just behind the Eliasberg-Gardner-Boylston PCGS MS65 CAC and the Usibelli PCGS MS65 Gold CAC and is likely the third FINEST 70-S half dollar in existence. Intensely lustrous surfaces radiate boldly and brilliantly throughout the nearly GEM quality surfaces. The eye appeal is VERY CHOICE, further enhanced by a precision strike and splashes of wonderful golden highlights. Taking a close look with a strong glass reveals the ever so slight traces of contact, which fail to impact the outstanding visual allure of this impressive HIGH GRADE example. PCGS 3, NGC 2, CAC 3. This coin sold for $34,500 back in Stack's Bowers' sale of the Dick Osburn Collection, August 2011. Any other example of this grade is lack luster and cannot be compared to the AMAZING quality and eye appeal of this one, so disregard the other APRs and Price Guide values, they have ZERO bearing on this near-GEM! The Eliasberg-Gardner Boylston coin sold in our April 2021 Regency Auction for $67,562. This 70-S will again see very strong bidding when it crosses the block. Good luck! Cert. Number 19510633 PCGS # 6329.00
