Description |
Likely struck in the 1850s, the J-65 features Christian Gobrecht's Seated Liberty figure without stars with C.Gobrecht F. on the stone base. The flying eagle reverse is without stars and the eagle flies even. Struck in Die Alignment III on a Silver planchet with a plain edge. The J-65 is Extremely Rare, rated a full R-8 with five known in all grades.
The presently offered GEM has a great, totally original look. Sold in the March 2017 sale of the Blue Moon Collection, it was described as:
"Magnificent and multicolored, this example ranks among the finest survivors of this rare variety. It combines extraordinary quality with extraordinary rarity. A sunset prism of color surrounds the obverse device, contrasting with mottled deeper gray and pale lilac on the reflective fields. The reverse is a subtler and more even blend of pastel violet and gold. Both sides are very sharply struck and exhibit excellent visual appeal. A long but densely curled lintmark gathers between Liberty's knee and bent elbow, only the most notable of several significant lintmarks scattered over the obverse. The present hairlines are minor, and no major marks are seen.
A substantial area of raised die rust is noted in front of Liberty's face. This example also shows a very crisp low spot, caused by a struck-through remnant on the die, below the right side of F of OF. The DTS die state nomenclature has been pegged to this exact specimen, identifying this coin as the definitive Die State A with strong low spot. Later strikes show this depression diminished.
The starless reverse employed on this reverse was first used in 1838; this variety was not coined until 1869 at the earliest and perhaps not until the early 1870s. Research by Saul Teichman has traced only five examples, one of which is impounded in the collection of the American Numismatic Society. The only finer specimen is currently in the Simpson Collection. This one has not been sold in nearly 25 years."
All we can add is a this coin really is a mega WOW! The Simpson coin is beautiful-but this coin has far more color and flash!
Its provenance is wonderful as well having been part of the famed Reed Hawn Collection (sold October 1993) and Blue Moon. In the Hawn catalog, they note "Very rare: we have records of only three specimens: 1952 ANA, Stack's October 1967, and the Garrett coin." The Garrett coin latere appered in the L.K Rudolph Collection, bought by Dr. Julius Korein (the example now in the ANS). The 1952 ANA coin is now the coin in the Simpson Collection. A PR65 sold in Goldberg's June 2004 sale, said to be off the market since the 1920s and is also now impounded in the Simpson Collection. A patch of color around the date helps plate match this to the Stack's October 1967 Charles Jay sale, where it sold as lot 172.
PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. We can NOT stress enough how rare this coin is. With the Simpson PR 65 locked up probably forever, this is the finest example that ever will be offered. The ONLY reason it is for sale-our partner Bruce Morelan was going to buy it and his interest got derailed by a little 1804 $1! We just can't put this wonder GEM away! The last line in the October 1967 description is as valid today as it was fifty years ago, and a fitting quote here: "Of EXTREME RARITY and should attract considerable bidding"
