详细说明

Legend Rare Coin Auctions is honored to offer the FINEST B-3, BB-213 dollar. None are graded higher than MS62 in Dave Bowers' 2013 list of Notable Specimens. This die marriage is easily identifiable by the missing right serif of the Ts on the reverse. This CHOICE coin is exceptional in every way! Boldly lustrous on both sides with a strong satiny glow that is vibrant in the fields, especially on the reverse. Both obverse and reverse show impressive depth, sharpness, and crispness of strike with every hair strand, star, feather, and every detail sharply defined. The surfaces are hard and smooth, with very few post mintage contact marks noted, even under the most intense scrutiny with a powerful loupe. More artifacts from the minting process are seen, such as the die cracks associated with Die State III and traces of die rust on the obverse. Both obverse and reverse are awash in a rich, antique silver with accents of olive, slate-blue, and soft apricot-gold iridescence that come out when rotated in a light. Truly the underlying surfaces are brilliant and the eye appeal really cannot be improved upon. Technically and visually this is a very high end early dollar! PCGS 4, NGC 5, CAC 2. The most recent sold in the 2018 Central States auction for $96,000 and before that, a non-CAC NGC coin sold for $94,000 in June 2017. Needless to say you can ignore all price guides on this coin, they are outdated and do not reflect these auction records. Destined for a WORLD CLASS date or type set of dollars and this one should see fierce bidding. Keep in mind, no MS64 (Pop 1) has sold since June 2005 and the Pogue MS65 is tied with the Newman-Morelan and both realized well in excess of $300,000! This fully CHOICE example will be a real prize for any collection! Cert. Number 36473901 PCGS # 6893
