THE CORINTH COLLECTION The mintages of half dollars fell to 8,400 in 1880, as the mints across the country focused on churning out tens of millions of Morgan dollars. This fully PROOFLIKE and way undergraded GEM is a real delight to behold! Housed in a rattler holder with the coveted GOLD CAC sticker, we agree this coin is much better than MS65 as assigned by PCGS more than three decades ago, when this coin was graded. The razor sharp devices are thickly frosted and give this beauty an almost cameo-like contrast. Faint peripheral gold can be seen, but otherwise the surfaces are BLAST WHITE, with an incandescent brilliance. The eye appeal is monstrous! PCGS 20, NGC 10, CAC GOLD 1. In looking at other examples of this date in high grade to sell, we like this coin more than the MS66+ CAC that we sold as part of the Boylston Collection, Part III for $9,106. In MS66 the CAC CPG value is $6,000 and in MS67 the CAC CPG value is listed at $18,000. The PCGS Price Guide value is $7,000 in MS66, $10,000 in MS66+ and $16,000 in MS67. Take just a short glance at this STUNNER and know that it will bring a very strong bid! Good luck. Cert. Number 7049707 PCGS # 6362
