FROM THE NAPLES COLLECTION, PART II What an absolutely beautiful Mint State example of this first year of issue half eagle! We LOVE this issue, and this particular BD-3 is essentially of CHOICE grade and is truly PQ for the assigned MS61 grade. The mint utilized 12 different die pairs to strike the 1795 dated Small Eagle reverse half eagles. Research compiled by Harry Bass and John Dannreuther estimates that between 491 to 644 examples survive from ALL die pairs combined, of which the BD-3 as offered here, is the most plentiful. Even still, just 175-225 are thought to survive in all grades, with Mint State coins being particularly scarce. Flashy, brilliant golden luster beams boldly with a distinctive semi-reflective vibrance in the fields. Delectable tangerine-hues meld with a bright golden-yellow brilliance with some minor accents of olive that really pop when viewed under a light. The colors are gorgeous and totally original. As might be expected for a coin of this grade, there are some minor ticks and marks scattered about, but none are of any consequence on their own and none have any real impact on the overall wonderful visual allure. This coin has a great look and is worthy of strong bidding. PCGS 27, NGC 21, CAC 6. The most recent PCGS MS61 to sell was not CAC and realized $91,800 in April 2020. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $110,000 and the CAC CPG value is $124,200. Keep in mind we sold the last PCGS MS62 CAC for $176,250 in our November 2018, on an estimate of $120,000-$130,000. Bound for another fantastic collection of early gold, a gold type set, or just a box of 20 really sexy coins and worthy of a very strong bid. Good luck. Cert. Number 5859558 PCGS # 8066
