FROM THE M & S PETTY COLLECTION The mintage went back to pre-1844 levels in 1846, with 110,600 struck. Scarce in lower Mint State grades, and extremely rare in GEM, there is very strong collector demand for MS63 and MS64 coins as these are the highest grades that are affordable to most collectors. A vibrant, satiny mint luster blooms boldly and brilliantly in the fields highlighting a light golden patina over pearly-silver surfaces. The details are nicely struck with only some softness on the highest design points. The surfaces are generally clean and free of any serious marks, and even a glass fails to aid in the location of any single mark worthy of mention. The eye appeal is CHOICE and high end for the assigned grade. Housed in an older blue tag holder. PCGS 16, NGC 13, CAC 4. The last PCGS/CAC example sold in our December 2016 for $4,600 hammer. That coin was darkly toned and this one is much more brilliant and alluring. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $7,190 and the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,500. Rare any finer, especially in GEM. Bound for a great set or wonderful type collection. Good luck. Cert. Number 50069140 PCGS # 6932
