$1 1896S PCGS MS65

There has been a so/so PCGS MS65 floating around the auctions on the bourse floors for the past 2-3 months. It would NOT CAC because of a weak strike and some marks-even though the coin looked really clean. We own it (we took it in trade) and are frustrated we’ll lose $5G on it. This a great example of a coin we would call DRECK! Its also a great example as to why this coin is priced higher-its a far better coin! The new market just will not accept DRECK.

About the coin posted: The surfaces are about as clean or cleaner than what you would see on an 1880s Morgan. Superior smooth surfaces radiate with a full booming luster. There is NO toning and the color is a soft but bright white (no, its not dipped). Miss Liberty and the details are about 95% fully struck. Her cheek is amazingly clean and would please the toughest “old time” collector. The eye appeal is fantastic!

Do NOT be fooled by the pops, this is a rare date in TRUE GEM: PCGS 52, NGC 20, CAC 2. PCGS has graded only 3 finer with one being the famous MS69 Jack Lee specimen. This is a coin for a person who demands the best quality. If you want one for CDN bid, we have a non CAC’d one for sale! There really IS a huge difference.
