Description du lot

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-6- (21-30 minted). Postage Currency proposal. Small shield with olive branches and arrows around. EXCHANGED FOR U.S. NOTES around. Reverse: Denomination, date, in center, POSTAGE CURRENCY and ACT JULY 1862 around. Struck in silver with a plain edge. Historically important pattern struck in an effort to try and relieve the coinage shortage created by the Civil War. Deeply reflective, blazing silver surfaces, only a single toning spot is noted. High end for the grade with only some minor chatter. PCGS 7, NGC 4, CAC 2. The most recent PR63 graded by PCGS sold in August 2015, but was not CAC-approved. The current PCGS Price Guide lists a $2,000 valuation, which seems very reasonable given its historic relevance and rarity. Cert. Number 5759558 PCGS # 60482
