FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION EX VIRGIL BRAND, DAVID AKERS, DR. STEVEN DUCKOR This coin is pure numismatic royalty, in addition to its nirvana quality! Our jaws dropped to the floor and locked when we examined this out of this world GEM. The surfaces are flawless and satiny smooth. All you can see with a strong glass are light unobtrusive mint made striations. A glowing luster beams from all over with faint traces of prooflike mirrors. Both sides are enriched by a gorgeous mix of totally original two tone gold/pale orange gold colors. There are NO spots or discolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is phenomenal! This REMARKABLE SUPERB GEM is the second FINEST KNOWN (from an original small mintage of 5,900), following behind the other monster, the MS69 that is impounded in the Bob R. Simpson Collection. This coin is from one of most famed collections of all time, the Virgil Brand Collection, which was among the most extensive numismatic holdings ever assembled. This coin made its first modern appearance in the November 1983 Bowers and Merena sale of the Virgil Brand Collection. After that, it made its way to David Akers, one of the late 20th century’s most noted numismatic dealers and scholars. Sold to Dr. Steven L. Duckor, it was sold in the August 2015 sale of the Dr. Duckor Collection of Gold Dollars, where it was purchased by our consignor. PCGS 5, NGC 3, CAC 2. PCGS has graded only this one as MS68+ and the Bob Simpson coin is the one MS69 graded higher at PCGS. This coin last sold in the 2015 ANA auction for $70,500. Besides being perfect for GEM Civil War set or gold dollar set; it also works well in any box of 20. Or if you just wish to own a piece of numismatic royalty, this is the coin for you! Cert.
