J-933 50C 1870 PCGS PR65

A beautiful example of William Barber’s Seated Liberty type, struck in silver with a reeded edge, this coin is rated R-7- (with approximately 7-12 examples known). Boldly mirrored fields have a lovely watery texture. Under the lovely multicolored iridescent toning, the mirrors are clean, clear, and visible from across the room. A halo of rainbow color hugs the periphery of both the obverse and reverse with a light dusting of clear, reddish-gold patina in the centers. The details on both sides are FULLY struck and the overall eye appeal of this GEM is superb! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 2. This coin is likely counted twice in the Population reports. The last time a PCGS graded J-933 to sell in auction was back in October 2015, where one sold for $12,075. More recently an NGC/CAC coin sold for $5,750 in a September 2013 auction. PCGS has a value of $8,500 currently listed in their Price Guide. A truly rare and beautiful example of a popular pattern design that is arguably more appealing than the then current design. The description above was from our 07/2017 sale where this coin brought $8,519.00. The only reason this coin is back with us, the collector bought a MONSTER (and we mean MONSTER J-933 we found-cert 19166206). We have always strongly loved this GEM.
