THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION, PART IV Ex Eliasberg, as noted on the insert. An incredible early Proof Seated Liberty RARITY in a wonderful state of preservation. Boasting one of the most important pedigrees of all of numismatics, this near-GEM caliber specimen is a coin that is so infrequently offered, it is clearly undervalued and under appreciated in the market place today! Only about half dozen are estimated to have been struck. Boldly reflective mirrored fields beam with a flashy watery brilliance. Razor sharp in strike with a rich frost giving this high end example a near-CAMEO like visual impression. A delicate iridescent overtone is brought to life by the deep reflection that catches the light. As appropriate for the assigned grade, as strong glass reveals a minor line or two, but the eye appeal is quite nice. Ex Louis E. Eliasberg Collection, Bowers & Merena/ Stack's, April 1997, lot 1944; Sundance Collection, Heritage, September 2008, lot 2246; The Bay State Collection, Part II, Heritage, August 2009, lot 1126; unknown intermediaries; our consignor. Perhaps only five or six were struck. PCGS 1, NGC 0. There was another PR64 at one point, last sold in the June 2014 sale of the Gene Gardner Collection. That was so long ago! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $48,000. Just two are finer, both PR65. A coin like this is much rarer than six and seven figure classic rarities like the 1894-S dime, 1804 dollar, and the 1884 Trade dollar. Like we said these are so rare they are unfortunately overlooked, leaving them to be undervalued relative to their absolute rarity! Do not let this opportunity pass you by, who knows when it might present itself again! Cert. Number 25627043 PCGS # 6392
