Heritage Auctions Description (April, 2020): Satiny orange-gold mint luster appears unblemished on this remarkably high-grade Large Letters type coin. There is no carbon spotting, and the only interruption in the smoothness of the fields is a thing die crack that arcs through the eagle's tailfeathers. The strike is sharp, with particular note given to the tailfeathers and the wreath, including the bowknot.
CAC/EEPS; Rick Snow's Description (June 2020): Full strike. One of the finest known examples. As a one-year type coin, it is a highly important coin. Only 7 examples graded with none higher. Ex: Jasper Mantooth Collection.
CAC; Heritage Auctions Description (July 2008): The overall detail is crisp, including four complete diamonds on Liberty's ribbon, and the carefully preserved surfaces are vibrant with only slight variations in the prevailing copper-orange, lemon-yellow, and tan-gold shadings. Previously housed in a green label holder (as MS67) that showed an Eagle Eye Photo Seal sticker at the time of the 2008 Heritage sale. Coin was regraded to MS67+ and reholdered prior to August 2019 Heritage Auction. Ex: The Stewart Blay Collection of Indian Cents; Ex: The Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Ex: Estate of Robert R. Rollins Collection.
Heritage Auctions Listing Info (August 2020): Distinctly copper-orange surfaces glow with radiant mint luster. The cheek and adjacent fields are remarkably clean and carbon-free. A single tick appears left of the chin. Most importantly, this represents one of the three top-graded MS67+ Red submissions at PCGS.
CAC; Heritage Auctions Description (January 2025): Sharp definition spans the design elements, with faint die polish lines in the fields that attest to a very early die state. The bright copper-gold color is original, and neither side has a single notable blemish. A party of one at the top of the Condition Census, the Whispering Pines 1937-S cent surpasses even the most exceptional challengers for finest known. The quality here is simply stunning. It is also the only one of the top-grade specimens with CAC endorsement, leaving no debate regarding its status as the finest of them. Ex: Blay-Whispering Pines.
