The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION EX RICHARD JEWELL AND DICK OSBURN A true coin for the specialist collector, as it has been in two major specialist sets of Seated Liberty half dollars, before being acquired by the BigMo Collector. Despite a somewhat larger mintage of 658,000, this date is extremely RARE in Mint State. This CHOICE example ranks among the ten FINEST graded. Satiny brilliant mint luster is bold and frosty with a pearly golden iridescent toning. Some pewter and pale blue accents are seen in the obverse fields. Struck from the WB-103, Die Pair WB-4, which features the small, wide, broken S mintmark punch. Another interesting die feature is a prominent die crack on the reverse under DOL. The surfaces are generally clean, free of any serious lines or bagmarks. Indeed, the only distractions are a couple of dark toning dots on the reverse. These will forever be used to identify this really CHOICE coin as the Osburn-Jewell-BigMo coin. PCGS 6, NGC 3. This is the most recent example to sell in auction, realizing $3,819 in the 2013 ANA auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,500. There are four graded finer at PCGS, the finest of which is the Gardner MS66 that sold for $19,388 in October 2014. No MS64 or MS65 has sold in the last 17 years! An amazing opportunity for the advanced collector. What a great coin! Cert. Number 19510627 PCGS # 6312
