The Regency Auction 34

详细说明: Ranking within the lower end of the Condition Census for the B-2, BB-63, this pleasing AU53 Small Eagle dollar has a very distinct look. Clearly this CHOICE early dollar was struck early on in its production run, with ample reflection in the fields remaining from the pre-striking polishing given to the dies. Light die polishing lines and a lint mark or two are seen on both sides, further proving the early die state. Light peripheral toning frames both sides, giving it a great look. Sharply struck devices show every diagnostic point for this very scarce die pairing. In all AU grades, Dave Bowers estimates that 10-15 examples can be accounted for, though this example does not appear to be listed in his list of Notable Specimens. Housed in an earlier blue tag PCGS holder, this coin appears to be totally fresh to the market! PCGS 11, NGC 9, CAC 2. No CAC-approved example has ever sold in auction and the PCGS AU53 that sold in April 2017 was the first one to sell since 2002! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $16,000 and that level will likely prove too low! A slightly finer AU55 sold back in July 2013 for $22,325. Essentially unobtainable in Mint State, a high end AU53 like this is a great coin for any die variety collector! Good luck! Cert. Number 21525598 PCGS # 006859
