详细说明

One of the RARE late date Saints, and we unhesitatingly grade this coin an MS64.95+! Really!  It IS that close to full MS65. Superior surfaces resemble what you would see on a common date. The surfaces are remarkably clean and have thick satiny texture. When using a strong glass all we could find was a TINY tick and a few light and tiny frost breaks. For sure we have seen lesser quality coins in higher holders. This coin might fare even better off raw (we make no promises it will ever MS65)! A full cartwheel like luster vividly beams from all over. Both sides have an original deeper yellow gold color. There are NO marks or spots. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck (yes, including the nose) and have generous frost. The eye appeal is heart pounding! While over 3 million examples were struck, the vast majority were stored in treasury vaults and melted the following decade. Those that survive mostly came from overseas sources, coins paid out to Europe or South America and repatriated over the years since importation of gold was made legal. The present near-GEM ranks among the top 25 examples graded at PCGS! PCGS 198, NGC 91, CAC 14. There are 13 in MS64+ and just 12 graded higher. Only a single PCGS/CAC MS64+ has ever sold in auction, realizing $31,200 in July 2019. Keep in mind that only a single MS65 CAC ever sold in auction realizing $138,000 in the 2010 FUN auction. This borderline GEM has a lot to offer even the pickiest of Saint collectors! Good luck! Cert. Number 37423487 PCGS # 9178.00
