That is a very rare grade indeed, especially in our host holder.
I have seen very few true hi-end pcs, and do not hold NGC to same standards.
For the record there is only YOUR sole example. In 65 only 2 pcs.
True, NGC has 15+ pcs but irrelevant as comparison in this case.
In answer to your question on value, likely north of 2K easily.
The one and only piece presumably consigned by @bidask sold at Heritage last week for $800 plus juice.
No surprise to me - having seen the coin. No eye appeal, and technically inferior to MS65 (that I have).
I'm coming across more examples of gradeflation in the last five years; including Sofaer's coins sold at Goldbergs.
ATS I'm finding a similar situation. Coins are now making the 66 or better! grades. Yet the earlier graded coins are stricter.
1927 is first year, but isn’t a rare date.
My guess would be ~500 if it’s truly gem. I saw an example at the ANA show in August, but IMHO the ms66 grade assigned wasn’t justifiable. I’ve got a MS65 that’s superior in technical terms and eye appeal.
What were they asking for the one you saw at the ANA in 66 ?
I answered your question; would you kindly answer mine?
With just one recorded in pop report, that would make you the current owner! What did you pay for it?
I am the owner of a 1927 50 mils in PCGS 66. It has glossy lustrous surfaces .... don't remember exactly what I paid for it but maybe around $500...
I liked the fact it was a top pop at PCGS!
If you think you have a superior 65 speciman maybe you should try to upgrade.
Regardless of who the consignor was, I think $800 hammer was a disappointment.

1931 100 Mils in MS64 hammered today in Goldberg's auction at $25,000
I 've seen this example many years ago, possibly even sold this piece way back.
I distinctly recall the dings on the Arabic date, and edge at 7 o'clock.
@Atom your 58 is superior to this one and is undegraded.
Congrats to the high bidder, whoever you are - not much action here anymore on Palestine .
$960 sounds high, market has declined in this series, I am surprised.
That said, I would have not paid more than a 65 price for this example, I don't like it as a 66. So $300 tops for THIS example. Compare with this 64+ for $188 on 1/14/15
My MS64 sold in 2014 is way superior to this one, 4.16.14 $1880 MS64
And that said , I really don't follow this much lately.

Yes, it's unfortunate that many buyers pay more attention to the label than the coin.
