The Regency Auction 56

详细说明: Clearly one of the FINEST graded examples of this overdate Capped Bust dime. While fairly common overall, it is extremely rare in MS65 or higher grades. Indeed, PCGS and NGC have graded at most nine examples in MS65 or finer grades. In 1830, the mint pressed into use an unused 1829 obverse die and repunched the last two digits with a 30. The underlying digits are faint, especially on later die state pieces like this one. This GEM is totally original with wonderful old time, attractive toning. Coppery-gold and lilac-pewter blends with blue and yellow-gold. As the coin is rotated in a light, the brilliant, satiny underlying luster blooms from below the color, enlivening the variegated hues. The strike is bold throughout with just some minor softness as nearly always seen on the eagle's feathers. The surfaces are clean and free of any distractions of any kind or size that have any effect on the outstanding eye appeal. PCGS 1, NGC 2, CAC 1. Just four are finer. This coin last sold in August 2019, realizing $11,400; prior to that it realized $19,388 in August 2016. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $20,000 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $19,200. There are 2 in MS66 and 2 in MS67 finer than this one; the only 66 to sell sold in May 2005 and the last time a 67 sold was the Pogue coin in February 2016 for $64,625. This is a rare opportunity for the collector to acquire a CONDITION CENSUS example for their sets; good luck. Cert. Number 38212887 PCGS # 38848
