Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-6- (21-30 minted). Longacre's coronet head of Liberty similar to the 3CN. Large 5, CENTS in a laurel wreath IN GOD WE TRUST on reverse. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Nicely reflective nickel fields are smooth and free of all but the most insignificant flaws. A real GEM with sharply struck devices. PCGS 3, NGC 4. In July 2014 two PR65s sold, one PCGS and one NGC, realizing $2,350 and $1,880 respectively. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $2,500. The Liberty Head design, with its similarity to the 3CN should attract bidding from advanced collectors of that series, as well as nickel and pattern collectors. Cert. Number 3675189-007 PCGS # 60776
