Lot 337
1867. NGC graded MS-65. Fully white with reflective fields on both sides. A wonderful coin that exhibits thick mint frost on the devices which offsets the creamy satin luster of the fields. Incredibly appealing for the sparkling brightness and bold strike, with just a hint of peripheral gold toning on the reverse. An extraordinary example of this scarce date. All silver 1867 coinage is scarce, these were issued shortly after the Civil War ended, coins were still being hoarded and rarely found in circulation, and this coin more than likely was exported in trade and somehow survived that economic upheaval. Not only is this an elusive date, this particular coin has retained the Gem grade level of quality, and as such is clearly one of the very finest 1867 silver dollars known. Don't miss out if your have been seeking a high end gem to represent this date and mint. Only 46,900 struck. Pop 3; tied for the finest examples graded at NGC. Estimated Value $25,000 - UP
