What a mind boggling stunning borderline PR68 coin! Legend Numismatics sold this to a very picky collector who also has extremely high standards for his coins: they MUST be vividly toned and VERY high end for the grade. This coin has been off the market since 2011. Now this coin is pure Legend quality! Intense super deep mirrors really beam boldly from all over. They have amazing clarity, are perfectly clean, and are nearly blinding in reflection. The mirrors look like freshly made glass. A neon like mix of totally original royal blue/amber/purple/pale tangerine colors dominates both sides. Mother Nature sure did some great work here. Miss Liberty and the details are super frosted and have bold full strikes. The eye appeal is incredible! ONLY 710 were minted. PCGS 6, NGC 4, CAC 6. There are four PR67+ graded and this is tied for the FINEST 1887 Proof graded at PCGS. This coin last sold back in 2011 for $16,100; that is an ice age ago! The current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $18,500, and we hardly ever see any GEM Proof Halves as vividly toned as this anymore. This is a great coin to put away-especially at the current levels. We expect strong bidding for this gorgeous near PR68 GEM! Cert. Number 80620315 PCGS # 6448
