Lot Title: 1938 New Rochelle. PCGS MS-67 (green label).
Description: Staggering eye-appeal derives from stunning mint bloom, silvery-white throughout most of the center of both sides, and energized by the finest satin luster imaginable. Add to that the silky-smooth allure of brilliant rainbow toning across the upper and lower obverse rims, and sweeping down below the design elements on the reverse, and you have an amazing jewel that has to be counted among the finest looking coins in today's sale. The full-spectrum rainbow motif is fully realized in vibrant tone at the uppermost rim, beginning with deep tobacco-bronze, then propagating rapidly through chartreuse-orange, jade-green, emerald-azure, ocean-blue and plush magenta. Similar bands invert their order and decorate the bottom rim, and kindly perform the same duties for the lower most rim on the reverse. Without a doubt, the visual effect is at once memorable and beautiful, and most graciously accommodates all the qualities necessary to qualify for the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award. (PCGS# 009335)
