 Gem $7250 Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Flashy, ice-white frost blankets the central devices, leading toward concentrated mauve and blue-green patina at the rims. Stars and claws are sharp while some detail beneath the eagle is weak, which is due to polished dies rather than a soft strike. An oft-repeated technical point, which is applicable here, is that the lowest point on the coin is the highest point on the die. A couple bag marks are evident at the left shoulder, but the first and best impression is the ample luster. CAC records 87 coins total, 14 examples in MS66, and three pieces finer, all in MS67. The CAC price guide value is $7,500, advancing to $12,000 in MS67. Ex. Heritage (July 2022, lot 3737), realized $6,120, an informed purchase given the advanced placement in the condition census. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6355.
