$1 1864 PCGS MS65+

When we were building the FINEST EVER MS Set we we offered the 1864 PCGS MS66 for a then staggering amount of $150,000.00 way back in 2005 (today we think it would bring $250,000.00 in auction). Of course we stepped up and purchased it immediately. Since then this is the ONLY coin to come close to its magnificent quality!

This coin is more than worthy of being the second FINEST KNOWN. It is a complete masterpiece!

There really is no solid reason why this coin could not have graded MS66. There are ZERO impairments of any size any where (well there is small tick on the right reverse). Under a glass, only light die striations are visible. The surfaces are sleek, have light semi-prooflike mirrors, and do sport a strong luster. There is a mellow but pretty hint of pale gold on both sides. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have full strikes. The eye appeal is incredible-like the coins quality!

PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The ONLY coin finer is locked away in our FINEST EVER MS Seated Set. A regular one of these (NON CAC) sold in a major auction for $51,750.00 1/2009 Heritage. We are currently selling an MS65 CAC for $62,500.00. Good luck on finding a better 1864 than this coin-they just do not exist! Time has more than proven this.
