NGC MS-62 (illustrated above).  Ex - Paramount's sale of November 1971, lot 1013 - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.'s "The California Sale", October 2-3, 2000, Lot 676 @$5,750.00, where it was described (in part) as follows: "One of the top dozen of this date in Mint State, this nearly choice coin boasts mint fresh luster in the fields with choice orange-gold color. Minor handling marks visible with a glass, and Liberty's cheek is free of the usual problems. As to the strike, it is full on the obverse, and a bit weak on the eagle's thigh (as usual). Double punched on the date, with the base of a mispunched 51 showing below the date (Breen-6214). The July 2000 NGC Population Report shows only 6 graded as such, with 4 graded higher, showing this to be well up in the Condition Census for the date."
