Description du lot

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-7- (7-12 minted). Regular issue obverse die; "Dutch 5" reverse die. Struck in copper with a plain edge. A very rare copper striking using the same die paring as the previous lot. Reflective copper mirrors beam with glowing original red color that comes from under a very pretty golden brown patina. Both sides are sharply struck and offer a strong eye appeal. PCGS 2, NGC 2. There has not been any PR64 RB J-490 sold in auction since January 2006. That coin sold for $3,220 and the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $4,200. Very RARE in all grades, and rarely available in the market place. A very important opportunity! Cert. Number 3678177-062 PCGS # 70686
