Gem $5250 New March 30! Gem Original, Newtown Collection, Ex. Gardner.. Swirling ebon and gold patina fills the fields of this Philadelphia piece, while protected areas of the obverse reveal an outline of steel-gray color. Gem luster is somewhat subdued at first glance but is easily evident under a light. Strike is typical, with stars 4-8 soft. CAC notes 126 coins in all grades, nine pieces at MS65, and two examples finer, both at MS66. The CAC price guide assigns a value of $5,200 in MS65, a reasonable level for a coin removed from top-pop status by only a single point. Ex. Heritage (May 2022, lot 3518), at $5,040, previously from Gardner IV (Heritage, October 2015), lot 98671, where it realized $4,230. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6293.
