FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART II. The O-109 is the only die pair that features the Pointed 6 style date on the obverse and no stem through the eagle's claw on the reverse, as such, it is a distinct Red Book variety. That said, for the benefit of collectors, it is one of the more common Draped Bust half dollar die marriages in all grades, including Mint State. This is an awesome, totally original, high end CHOICE Mint State piece! The eye appeal is simply amazing and very high end for the assigned grade, with distinct claims to a higher grade (no guarantees). The surfaces are very brilliant and vibrant, especially the reverse which has a distinct Prooflike vivacity and flash that enlivens the richly toned surfaces. Both sides have a fabulous teal-blue that has lighter touches of gold and emerald near the rims. The strike, as often seen on this variety is balanced, well centered, and exacting, with razor sharp definition throughout. The surfaces are unmarred by any serious marks and the eye appeal is excellent! WOW. PCGS 11, NGC 3, CAC 5. This is not the example that sold in August 2020. The color and eye appeal is very similar to the MS64 coin we sold as part of the Chicago Collection in September 2021. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000 and the CAC CPG value is $28,800. The aforementioned MS64 brought $41,125. We think this coin is worthy of a premium bid for its exceptional eye appeal and fabulous overall quality. Cert. Number 35594608 PCGS # 6073
