 Gem AUCTION
$8000 		New March 22! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Medium crust reveals a layer of golden skin atop the frosty surfaces of this GFRC-rated Gem example, with deeper blue-gray color at the rims. WB-1, with the top of a 6 in the dentils below the rightmost 6. The reverse die cracks are not yet developed. Star points are evident, while the detail around the eagle’s left leg is less distinct. As with many of the half dollars of the Civil War and Reconstruction era, production was lower, and this issue easily rises above “common date” status with less than a million pieces struck. CAC has certified 34 coins in all grades, three pieces in MS65, and three examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $7,300. Ex. Witter Coin, earlier from Heritage (July 2008, lot 549), at $6,325. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6319.
