1857 PCGS MS66RB CAC + CMQ Pop. 2/0 ALL Grades/Colors! Small Date 1c Large Cent

Description: Tied with one other MS66RB for the finest numerically certified 1857 large cent at PCGS, any color OR variety, Small OR Large Date. But this is the only CAC. Just 600 Small Dates survive versus 6,000 Large Dates as per PCGS Coin Facts (click the sixth image). Also, the rarest issue in MS65 from 1816 to 1857 (sixth image). $71,000 for NGC MS66+RB 1856, a more common date, at leading dealer (click the seventh image). 🔵 CMQ = David Hall's version of a CAC sticker, which thus denotes superior eye appeal and technical quality. Hall is PCGS's founder and the greatest grading expert and coin dealer of all time. Both he and Greg Roberts, another superstar numismatist, must agree on any coin's CMQ approval. Billion-dollar companies make a buy/sell market in CMQ coins. CMQ places far more emphasis on eye appeal than CAC does. Picky CMQ approves merely a small minority of coins examined. ✅ Green CAC = choice, high-end, possibly under-graded. ✅ Fussy CAC has approved just 5% of all 1857 large cents certified by PCGS and NGC. One of our favorite coins of all time. One of the two finest numerically certified by PCGS but this is the only CAC. Small Date population in ALL grades and colors combined is TEN TIMES lower than that of the Large Date, so the Small Date's mintage is likely 30,000 (the amount of the first delivery), the lowest of ANY large cent besides the 1793 Liberty Cap. Historical final year of large cents. Member of prestigious CDN Exchange (aka Greysheet aka Coinplex) since 2011 and one of its top five bidders in dollar volume. Fewer than 300 members worldwide.
