Lot Title:
|
1926 American Sesquicentennial NGC MS-65 (no-line).
|
|
Description:
|
Eunice Peters Estate. 279 graded MS-65, 12 higher at NGC. The 1926 Sesquicentennial holds well-known status as a condition-rarity within the commemorative series, as few gems have been certified, relatively to the plentiful mintage of 141,120. Washington's cheek will show some planchet abrasions almost regardless of grade, though this example exhibits only trivial tiny abrasions not eradicated by the strike. Aside from that, surfaces appear to be practically flawless, though the bell also shows a few micro abrasions, as always. Clearly an original coin, light silver-grey patina yields to a broad expanse of tobacco-grey in the obverse right field, with a similar large accent on the left side of the reverse. (PCGS# 009374)

There are distinctive issues in U.S. numismatics which are common up through a grade of MS-64, then suddenly become virtually unobtainable in MS-65. One coin famous for this phenomenon is the 1926... |

This coin goes from the $450 range in MS-64 to the $4000 range in MS-65. That is one hell of a spread. This coin is very solid MS-64 that could have an outside chance at an upgrade. The odds are... |

What a nice MS-64. Sesquicentennial are usually very "beat-up" looking coins. This coin is an exception to the rule. Washington has some very light chatter on the cheek, while Collidge's face is... |
