The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART II. Sitting in at the median of the Condition Census for the O-107 die pair, this GEM is one of the FINEST KNOWN for the Curl Base, Knob 2 Red Book type. Just a single MS65+ from the Chicago Collection is numerically finer at either service, as the NGC MS66 that sold in 2009 is the same coin as the PCGS MS65 CAC that we sold as part of the Konstantine Collection in 2018. This coin, like most of Dale's GEM Capped Bust half dollars, is richly toned and offers a strong, satiny luster that accentuates the frosted surfaces. The strike is bold and razor sharp with all the details crisply rendered by an exacting blow from the dies. The reverse is a deeper shade of slate-blue/gray, while the obverse is ringed by a rich azure frame and rose-silver-gray in the center. The eye appeal is very nice, even for a GEM grade coin! Ex Findley Collection, Heritage, January 2009, lot 2827; Dale Friend Collection; Heritage, January 2020, lot 4204; Dale Friend Collection. PCGS 3, NGC 0. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $21,500 and this coin brought $11,400 in January 2020. The MS65+ realized just shy of $50,000 (!) in our September 2021 sale of the Chicago Collection! This beautiful GEM will see very strong bidding for sure! Good luck! Cert. Number 35594666 PCGS # 6149
