Owner's Comments

Legend Numismatics wrote "The SOLE Pop Top example in this category. This is a SUPERB GEM example with a stunning, bold luster and gorgeous, iridescent pastel toning that appears in icy blue and clear-peach gold hues. Generally sharply struck, the steps show about 2/3-3/4 full definition. PCGS 1, NGC 5. NONE HAVE SOLD IN AUCTION, and is unpriced in the PCGS Price Guide. VERY RARE so fine with Full Steps, a 67 FS will cost $6,000+! Good luck. Cert. Number 38455471 PCGS # 4030.00"
