1887-O $1, PL MS (PCGS#7177)

The Regency Auction 51

详细说明: Ex PCGS Tour, as noted on the insert. Despite a large mintage of 11,550,000, the 87-O is decidedly RARE with a Prooflike finish, especially so in GEM. This fact is borne out by the grading service population figures, fewer than two dozen have graded MS65 PL or finer at PCGS. This is a well struck example of this notoriously weakly struck date. While the frosted reliefs do show some minor weakness they are sharper than usually encountered. The highly lustrous fields have a distinctive Prooflike flash. Mostly untoned there is a tiny blush of peripheral gold that delightfully frames both sides. The eye appeal is excellent. The PCGS Tour Set was a very popular display at coin shows around the country. You will clearly see that with a coin like this in the set, why it would be such a popular draw among collectors. PCGS 19, NGC 2, CAC 5. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $9,694 in our most recent Regency Auction and all the APRs have exceeded the current published price levels. VERY RARE finer, with just four coins graded higher in the PL designation, making this GEM worthy of a strong bid. Good luck. Cert. Number 7454653 PCGS # 7177
