J-128B Cent 1851 PCGS PR66

$39,500.00

EXTREMELY RARE-this is an R-8 (2-3 known). Legend is pleased to have purchased the FINEST KNOWN example of this issue. This coin is minted in Silver, not experimental Billion.

One look and you can easily tell this coin was carefully stored since 1851. Its like the Mint sent it direct to PCGS! The ONLY lines you see are die striations which are MINT MADE (and a few on the holder). Overall, the surfaces are clean, smooth, and do have strong reflectivity. A light hint of champagne frames the peripheries. Every detail is needle sharp in strike. The eye appeal is superb!

The last one to sell at a major auction was a PR63, which brought $20,700.00 07/08 Stacks. The Judd Book lists a PR65 at $35,000.00. This is one awesome opportunity for the serious pattern enthusiast!
