Another long-hidden rarity. The consignor purchased it raw (from your cataloguer) in 1989. My failing memory cannot pull up the pre-sale source of this stunning coin. The fully lustrous surfaces are bathed in original burnt-orange toning with rings of blue, rose and turquoise iridescence at the rims. The eye appeal is A+. The coin likely sits at #3 or 4 in the Condition Census, behind the gem Newman and Pogue coins [PCGS MS 65 and 66] and, perhaps, the NGC MS 65 Pryor/Prouty example. I look forward to wide-eyed looks of wonder when this coin is previewed in Denver. Est. $20,000 and up.
