From the Chester Roche Collection. Tied for FINEST graded at PCGS, this 1862 is the epitome of SUPERB quality! One of the more available dates, with a mintage well in excess of 1.3 million, very few were saved in PRISTINE condition during this pivotal Civil War year. An exquisitely preserved coin, the luster is thick and glowing from all over. The devices are sharply struck up on both sides. The planchet shows some minor roller marks and die striations, which don't affect the eye appeal, which is SUPERB! PCGS 7, NGC 8, CAC 9. Only two PCGS/CAC coins have ever sold in auction, and they both happened to sell in the 2015 ANA auction. The first one was the Akers/Duckor coin, which realized a record $25,850 and the other realized $10,575. Civil War gold, especially high end PCGS/CAC examples are very highly sought and in demand, we expect very strong bidding to bring this beautiful example home! Good luck. Cert.
