Description
- silver
An exceptionally fine example with satiny cartwheel lustre; it is a sharp, well balanced strike, and has virtually no surface marks visible to the naked eye; a minuscule mark before Liberty’s nose the only identifier. The coin has a lovely pale golden tone.
Provenance
John Highfill Collection; Jack Lee (August 1991); Ralph Stone Collection (circa 1995); thence by descent.
Catalogue Note
THE JOHN HIGHFILL-JACK LEE SPECIMEN.
The date is a scarce one, and rare in higher grades of preservation, as evidenced by the paucity of auction appearances. The most recent sale of a comparably graded example was in January 2017, and none for nearly three years prior. This example graced two of the finest collections formed in the late 1980s and early 1990s: John Highfill and Jack Lee. It appears to have been Lee’s primary example until his 1994 purchase of the Bodway collection.
Certificate number: 8368349 (Generation 3 holder). Of more than 4,000 submissions, PCGS has graded forty comparable; six MS 66+; three MS 67; and single MS 67+. CAC has certified eight at this level and only three finer. (02-18)
