The Regency Auction 47

详细说明: FROM THE ERIC H. TEMPLETON COLLECTION A glorious CONDITION CENSUS B-3, BB-141. This variety is listed as Rarity-3, and this CHOICE Mint State example ranks high up on the Condition Census, though it does not appear to be one of the ones enumerated by Dave Bowers in the 2013 Revision of his early dollar Encyclopedia. The Census is listed as 64,64,63,63,63, so this 63+ is solidly ensconced among the FINEST KNOWN survivors. Struck from Die State III. Rich dove, slate, and pewter patina shows hints of olive, lilac, and rose that come out in a light. The striking definition is decent, particularly strong on the peripheries and we note just some striking weakness on the eagle's wings and some of the highest points on Liberty's tresses. There are a few minor ticks that are seen with the aid of a strong glass, but they do not detract. Ex Heritage, June 2015, lot 4054; Heritage, August 2017, lot 4022. PCGS 0, NGC 1. In its most recent auction appearance, this CHOICE Mint State example sold for $43,475. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $65,000. Anything graded higher has a Price Guide value into the six figures. This is a solid coin for the early dollar specialist and worthy of a great type or date set collection. Cert. Number 3319496-002 PCGS # 6883.00
