Key Carson City Date, Choice Original, Gerry Fortin Collection.. A single obverse die paired with an existing reverse coined 18,791 pieces with this survivor being remarkably preserved. The mintage circulated extensively in the western frontier with heavy wear or corrosion being typical of those seen. Though moderately worn, this survivor still retains residual luster under a bright light. Original golden mint frost is noted in the protected areas. Varying shades of gray contain embedded gold, rose, and aquamarine while the surfaces are practically unabraded. CAC reports 18 approved in all grades with only two finer, EF45 and AU50. The CAC price guide suggests $14,400 as fair value while PCGS lists $17,500. An exceptional Carson City strike for those who demand strict originality. Acquired November 2006 via private treaty. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4666. December 1969
