FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART I. A CONDITION CENSUS B-3, BB-213. A great coin for the date or type in every way. This is the type of high end AU coin we call a "GEM" AU. Struck from Die State III of the dies, the collar die clash is clearly seen at Liberty's bust line. Classic, old time, antique gold and dove-silver toning envelopes the obverse, evenly and delicately covering that side. The reverse is deeper with lilac-dove as the dominant hue, with accents of golden tan. A nearly complete mint luster blooms vividly on the obverse, while the reverse is a touch more subdued due to the depth of the toning. The strike is bold, with nearly full definition on both sides. A few microscopic ticks are seen on either side, none of which have any real impact on the visual impact of this coin, which we are certain in earlier times would have been cataloged as a Mint State or Brilliant Uncirculated coin. The friction is very minimal, making this a real slider early dollar. PCGS 24, NGC 20. The most recent examples to sell were CAC-approved, no non-CAC PCGS AU58 has sold in auction in nearly five years. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $32,500, a reflection of the strong APRs of the PCGS/CAC examples that brought $30,550 in 2018 and $28,200 in July 2020. This attractive coin will certainly see healthy competition when it crosses the block and will find itself in a fantastic cabinet of early dollars or a wonderful type set. Cert.
