1909-O 25C MS66 Certification #21555152, PCGS #5655

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

An absolute monster for the date with beautiful color on both obverse and reverse over lustrous clean surfaces. PCGS has only graded four coins MS65, and three in MS66 with none higher. NGC has done five in MS65, and one coin each in MS66 and MS67. The 1909-O may have the lowest combined pop in gem of any date in the series. The present example at least equals the Eliasberg-Hugon PCGS MS66. We have not seen the NGC MS67, which resides in the collection of Eugene H. Gardner, but it would very difficult to imagine a prettier or more desirable example than this one !! From the esteemed collection of Dale Friend, who considered this coin his favorite in the set; earlier from the Dale Krueger set, which had many beautiful pieces.
