New August 23! Ex. Fortin and Newtown Collections, Gem Original, Massachusetts Collection.. Brilliant, frosted luster imparts dancing cartwheels atop the original surfaces of this Philadelphia example. A splash of light coffee patina is evident on both sides. All elements are deeply impressed, and this piece nicely reveals the higher relief that often characterizes Liberty Seated coinage in the 1840s. F-101a, with the date sloping downward, and a prominent reverse die crack within the legend at (ST)AT(ES). CAC has approved two coins higher, both at MS65 and one recently crossed into a CACG holder. Apart from the fact that this is the near-finest known example at CAC, one must also consider the absolute rarity, with only 24 CAC-approved coins across all grades. The CAC guide value is $3,600. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4590.
