 Choice $5500 New May 18! Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Frosty surfaces reveal traces of smoky patina at the rims of this example, but the first impression is that of a lustrous, untoned piece. A strong strike delivers textured stars and near complete detail in the feathers and claws. WB-1, with a low date. The 9 is centered above two dentils. Western silver discoveries had not yet reached the Philadelphia Mint, and production remained under a million pieces in this year, elevating this issue beyond a “type coin” pricing profile. This example further claims near-finest known status at CAC, which notes 47 pieces total, five coins in MS64, and two examples higher. The CAC price guide is $4,500. Ex. Boylston (Legend, Regency Auction 57, February 2023), lot 189, realized $5,405. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6325.
