FROM THE ERIC H. TEMPLETON COLLECTION This remarkable coin is the third FINEST KNOWN for the Dotted Date, B-14, BB-194 die variety per Dave Bowers' 2013 list of Notable Specimens, and ranks as the SECOND HIGHEST GRADED by PCGS. It is important to note that NO PCGS coin in ANY Mint State grade has sold in auction since the Cardinal Collection MS64 sold in June 2005! It has been over a decade since this coin has been sold in auction as well. This Red Book listed die variety is easily attributed by the raised lumps around the first 0 in the date. This is a remarkably clean and ORIGINAL CHOICE Mint State specimen. Attractively toned with rich mauve-gray, rose-gold, lilac-pewter, and slate-dove patina. A striking underlying mint frost gleams from under the toning that amplifies the depth and quality of the strike. A strong glass reveals a few very minor marks, none of which are very distracting to the eye, and are barely visible without the aid of magnification. The visual allure of this coin is excellent. Ex Heritage, January 2007, lot 1038; Heritage, August 2007, lot 1720; Bowers & Merena, July 2008, lot 711; Stack's November 2008, lot 3737; Stack's, March 2010, lot 1129; Stack's, Stack's November 2010, lot 4421 (all as NGC MS63); unknown intermediaries; our consignor. PCGS 1, NGC 1. The only Mint State coin graded by PCGS sold back in June 2005 from ANR's sale of the Cardinal Collection, which brought $71,300 way back then! Today the MS63 PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $75,000. Worthy of a fabulous collection of early dollars or type, or a box of 20 interesting and special coins, this coin will no doubt end up in a WORLD CLASS cabinet! Cert. Number 34000534 PCGS # 6889.00
