Tied for SECOND FINEST graded at PCGS, with just a single MS67 ever having graded higher. Only 6,000 were struck and the vast majority of survivors are lower Mint State grades, this date becomes quite scarce in GEM MS65 and is virtually unobtainable any finer. Brilliant golden color glows and shows off a rich luster that radiates dramatically off the silky smooth surfaces. The original surfaces have a warm original gold that accents the sharply struck devices. The eye appeal is truly AMAZING and the technical quality borders on SUPERB! PCGS 10, NGC 5, CAC 3. There are just three in MS66+ and a single MS67 finer. The only other MS66+ to sell was the Pogue coin which brought $22,325 and was not CAC. We presume the MS67 is the former NGC coin that sold over a decade ago for $39,100 and has not appeared in auction since. The PCGS Price Guide value is $27,500 and in MS66 the CAC CPG value is listed at $29,000. If you are putting together an advanced Registry Set, be sure to not miss the rare and important opportunity this presents. Good luck! Cert. Number 38140128 PCGS # 8009.00
