 Gem $18250 New March 30! Gem Original, Newtown Collection. Ex. Eliasberg.. Blazing surfaces reveal touches of gold patina on both sides, and the frosty flash is fully consistent with the assigned grade if not more so. Indeed, the visual “pop” is more impressive than conveyed by the images, and this piece requires in-person viewing to fully appreciate the radiant luster. A few tiny bits of crust are evident here and there. Stars are soft, while the eagle claws are sharp. WB-9, with traces of 8 and 6 in the obverse dentils. CAC notes 22 examples total, one coin in MS65 (the present piece), and a sole example finer, at MS66. The CAC price guide value at MS65 is $15,100, rising to $25,900 in MS66. The PCGS census is equally challenging, with one coin in MS65, one piece in MS65+ (the present example), and one finer coin at MS66. Ex. Regency Auction 48 (Legend, October 2021), lot 115, at $17,625, previously from the Eliasberg Collection (Bowers & Merena, April 1997), lot 2004, at $9,350. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval. The label documents the Eliasberg pedigree. PCGS #6320.
