FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART I This is a particularly CHOICE and ORIGINAL AU55 B-16, BB-187, and just below the Bowers (2013) census. As a Rarity-2 variety, identified by the die flaws by RT in LIBERTY and ES in STATES, this is a great coin for the type or date collector! A nicely struck example with a wealth of underlying mint frost that glows from below the delicate russet-tan, pearly-pewter, and soft iridescent hues draped across both the obverse and reverse. Pleasing definition to the devices are struck from Bowers Die State IV, with bold clashing and a curving die crack across the bust. The eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 49, NGC 47, CAC 11. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $15,600. None have sold in over four years making this a fantastic opportunity for the collector! Who knows when another PCGS/CAC AU55 will appear in auction. Good luck. Cert. Number 25346793 PCGS # 6887
