Gem SOLD
$8250 		Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Rich blue patina frames the plum-gray centers of this late-date Philadelphia piece, and the strong, frosty luster easily shines through the medium skin. Surfaces are blatantly original, and the CAC certification is easily merited. The overall eye appeal is exceptional, and the next owner will enjoy showing this coin to other (no doubt jealous) collectors. Strike is typical, with a couple flat stars and a few claw joints joining together. CAC has approved 59 pieces in all grades, 14 examples in MS66, and seven coins in MS67. The CAC guide value is $7,200 and MS66 and rises to $14,400 in MS67. The upper four-figure price is not a trivial matter for most collectors, but such a combination of scarcity, luster, originality, and aesthetic appeal rarely comes cheaply. Ex. Rare Coin Wholesalers. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6370. December 1969
