50C 1905 PCGS MS66+

We rank this coin an unquestionable MS66.9+, +++! We see no real reason why it did not make MS67 (no promises it ever will). Seriously perfect surfaces are easy to see all over. Even using a strong glass you will NO imperfections of ANY size, ANY where. The surfaces are also sleek, yet slightly satiny. A good luster illuminates the surfaces. Both sides are evenly covered by a totally natural mix of moderate but pale olive/deeper golden brown/pale green covers. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is very pleasing. PCGS 8, NGC 5, CAC 5. PCGS has graded only 2 coins MS66+. and just 2 in MS67. Here are some interesting stats: the last PCGS MS66 (a NON CAC) brought $10,575.00 01/2017. Prior to this coin selling, the last PCGS MS66+ CAC piece to sell brought$14,950.00 back in 06/2011 (that is 6 forever years ago)!  Obviously, the market has spanked nicer MS Barber coins hard-really too hard.  We believe strongly this coin was taken from a bank and placed somewhere in a collection that was properly stored. It looks totally untouched.  Finding a GEM like this does not happen in ANY frequency. If you seek a GEM Barber  or GEM Type piece this coin has EVERYTHING (and we mean EVERYTHING) going for it. As we all know, of all the coins out there, MS Barbers have been spanked the hardest over the last few years.  Time is quickly healing that old wound (and a dramatic LACK of supply).
