$1 1849 PCGS MS65

Clearly,this piece is the second FINEST KNOWN for the date. The FINEST is the PCGS MS67 that is in our FINEST EVER MS Set. Hard to believe this GEM we are offering here has survived 162 years in such pristine condition!

To start, this coin looks more like an 1870, then 1849. Sleek and shimmering surfaces have a trace of semi-prooflike mirrors. An intense booming luster also helps show off the near flawless surfaces. A heart pounding mix of light golden brown /champagne color mixes with some blue by the rims. Miss Liberty and the details are remarkably struck and boldly stand out. We could make a strong argument that this coin should be an MS65+. The eye appeal is awesome!

PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The ONLY time this piece was in auction, was back in 2003 where it sold for $41,400.00. The CDN shows a WHOLESALE BID of $85,000.00 (they are getting better). Being the ONLY available GEM, its sure worth multiples more today!

Legend Numismatics is proud to own and offer this prized specimen.
