Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Deep mirrors are the hallmark of this GFRC-rated Gem example, and the impression of the reflectivity is reinforced when tilting the piece under a light. Ice-white frost covers Liberty, creating visceral contrast with the watery fields, while the rims reveal scattered crimson patina. The overall flash is compelling, as expected at the MS67 level, and it is hard to imagine that the piece has lost the slightest bit of visual “pop” since it came off the dies. The top of the head and star 7 are soft, while nearly all reverse elements are distinct. CAC notes 33 coins across all grades, with five pieces in MS67 and none higher. PCGS notes six examples in MS67 and a single coin at MS67+. The CAC price guide is at $15,800, while PCGS designates a value of $25,000. Ex. GFRC (August 2023), at $27,500. Tied for finest known at CAC, this piece is surely destined for an advanced collection. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6369. December 1969
