详细说明

From the Oak Crest Collection. In high end AU, the 75-CC is a VERY RARE coin; indeed, if not for a small group of VF and XF coins that came out into the market two decades ago, the overall rarity of this date would be comparable to the 72-CC and 73-CC. Of an original mintage of 11,828, somewhere around 150 examples are estimated to survive, as said, mostly in lower grades. Choice AU55 pieces, as here are very rare, with only two Mint State coins graded higher. The Oak Crest coin has a rich honey-orange golden with accents of a greenish hue across the surfaces. A bold, satiny luster has a almost glossy texture. While a strong glass reveals a few ancient lines and a few old circulation marks, the naked eye appeal is exceptional. Both sides feature very well struck up design elements, with only a touch of weakness at the azure of the shield. Struck from Winter 1-B dies, which features a bold doubled die reverse. This doubling is easily seen at FIVE D. PCGS 6, NGC 9, CAC 4. There are only two coins finer at PCGS, the Robison-Hawn-Battle Born collection coin in MS61 and the MS63 coin that last sold in 2007 for $103,500. This coin sits firmly in the Winter condition census, as well as the PCGS CoinFacts census. Our consignor purchased this coin in 2013, and it does not match any of the AU55s that appear in our auction database. No CAC-approved AU55 has ever sold in auction. The most recent PCGS-graded example sold in August 2017, realizing $20,563. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $22,500. Anyone working on a specialized set of Carson City gold needs to reflect that this handsome AU55 is tied for third finest graded at PCGS, and bid accordingly. With the two Mint State coins presumably in strong hands, who knows when a comparable opportunity might occur. Be sure to view this beauty and bid accordingly! Cert. Number 25060881 PCGS # 8337
