EX. D. BRENT POGUE COLLECTION, as noted on the insert.
One of the few Pogue coins available today. This coin was more than worthy of inclusion of probably the all time finest Pre 1900 collections ever. (Pogue still did later sets). We never ever see them like this any more. Why PCGS did not grade this a MS66+-especially based on looks is the 9th wonder of the world. PHENOMENAL sums up everything about this SUPERB GEM. It is SUPER HIGH END.
Mother Nature really puts on one heck of a display here. Remarkable surfaces are semi satiny smooth and exceedingly clean. Even using a strong glass there is really nothing to find. A killer booming satiny like luster beams from all over. The totally original colors really put on a show. Stunning shades of yellow gold mix with orange gold in an eye popping swirling pattern. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and loaded with thick frost. The eye appeal is incredible!
PCGS 70, NGC 39, CAC 9. In Pogue this coin brought $17,625 as a non CAC. The current WHOLESALE sight UNSEEN bid is $24,000. We bet few, if any, that are available today look this great. There really is NO premium added for the name-which actually down the road will be a huge plus. Building a $3 or Type set? For an 1878 this coin is a superstar!
