Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-5 (31-75 minted). A true transitional pattern issue with the adopted design of 1883, but dated 1882. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Lively mirrored fields are flashy and very high end. Some icy blue iridescent toning can be seen on both sides, and the overall eye appeal is quite nice on this GEM. PCGS 9, NGC 3. The last PCGS-graded example sold for $7,475 in March 2012 and there are records as high as $9,775 for an NGC coin. The current PCGS value is listed at $7,250. Worthy of an AMAZING Lib. nickel set or any collection of transitional patterns! Good luck! Cert. Number 20210753 PCGS # 62095
