$15000 		Choice Original, Newtown Collection.. Reflective luster with partially mirrored fields reveals old-time gray-silver toning with deeper shades around the stars. Proofilke strikes are not unusual in the Carson City series, so much so that one example of this issue has been described as a "one-sided proof." The smooth surfaces are exceptional for the grade and the strike is strong, with plain star points and distinct detail in the eagle feathers. CAC has certified a single piece in AU55 (the present coin), and only four in higher grades. The CAC price guide value is $14,400, advancing to $23,000 in AU58. This is a rare opportunity - pieces like this tend to fall into "strong hands" and rarely see the light of day. This is not an inexpensive piece, but the combination of rarity and quality is elusive, and extraordinary coins such as this example will always draw significant attention and jealous looks from other collectors. Ex. Seal Beach Collection (GFRC, April 2020), at $14,250. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder. PCGS #6331. December 1969
