H.10 1796/5 PCGS MS64 EX WHITNEY/SIMPSON

$87,500.00

WOW, WOW, WOW! This coin is UNBELIEVABLE. Plus it is a SUPER HIGH END MS64.9+!  We do admit to sending it in 2x seeking a +. What in the world does PCGS Want?

Crazy surfaces are virtually perfect. We had to use a really strong glass to see even a microscopic tick or two. Plus, there are light semi-prooflike mirrors all over. The luster/flash is strong. Both sides are covered by an original pewter/steel/faded navy color. This is NOT a dull or drab coin. The strike is mind blowing. Miss Liberty and every detail are struck so fine you do not need a glass to see the full head of the eagle or the majority of its feathers. These early dates are notoriously flat on the reverse. It is possible this could be a very early striking. The eye appeal is incredible.

PCGS 1, NGC 0. CAC 1. There is a MS64+ which we sold for $94,000.00 in 2018 to a collector. The only other coin graded higher was an MS66. We believe this is the ONLY opportunity to buy a GEM 1796/5 Half Dime for many years. This coin has so much going for it. Early Bust Half Dimes simply do NOT come looking anywhere near as awesome as this 223 year old piece!
