FROM THE ERIC H. TEMPLETON COLLECTION This is an old friend, a WONDERFUL and HIGH END B-3, BB-213, the FINEST KNOWN of the die marriage! This coin is not enumerated in Dave Bowers' list of Notable Specimens. The variety is easily identifiable by the missing right serif of the Ts on the reverse legend. We sold this really CHOICE example in our March 2019 Regency Auction, lot 303, where it was described as: "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!" Ex Lyn Knight's June 2017 IPMS Coin Auction, lot 10085 (as NGC MS63); Heritage, April 2018, lot 4268 (as PCGS MS63 CAC); our Regency Auction 31, March 2019, lot 303; our consignor. PCGS 4, NGC 5, CAC 2. We sold this coin for $96,938 in its last appearance. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $100,000. VERY RARE, with just three coins graded finer on the PCGS Population Report, including the Col. Green-Amon Carter-Brent Pogue and Col Green-Eric Newman-Bruce Morelan MS65s, and the Eliasberg-Flannagan-Cardinal MS64 that has not sold since June 2005! This is a stunning and high end type coin from a date that is quite RARE in any Mint State grade. Cert. Number 36473901 PCGS # 6893.00
