 Gem $12500 New May 18! Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Satiny luster flows from brilliant centers, leading toward attractive rim toning with blue-green and russet patina evident in the stars and legend. The eye appeal is undeniable, and it is hard to imagine a more aesthetically pleasing piece for the grade. The strike is exceptional, with complete detail throughout. WB-7, with a reverse die lump between W and E. The 1870 half is a somewhat scarcer issue in the series, with less than a million pieces struck, but in this case the visual “pop” is the controlling factor, and the next owner will be justifiably proud. CAC has certified 32 pieces, with two coins in MS65 and none finer. PCGS has approved only one higher example, at MS67. The CAC guide value is $10,500. This coin is not inexpensive, but the combination of condition census placement and superb in-hand appeal is hard to beat. Ex. Heritage (August 2023, lot 3595), realized $12,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6327.
