The Regency Auction 62

Lot Description: EX. DENALI COLLECTION, as noted on the holder. This coin is a very high R-7 (4-7 Minted). Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. It is the FINEST known, and there are less than half a dozen known of this issue! For a trial striking, a lot of effort went into making this exceptional quality piece. Overall, the planchet was problem free, so when it was struck, there are practically NO imperfections. Glorious watery mirrored fields that offer extraordinary quality and preservation. This issue has a plain edge and is boldly struck on all the devices with snow white frost glistening over the mirror fields. No spots or lines detract! Undoubtedly this is the finest known of this rare and seldom seen pattern issue. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The ONLY other specimen we are aware of is the PR64+ Cameo in the all time finest ever Pattern Collection-the Simpson Collection. This coin sold in December 2017 for $9,400. There are NO accurate price guides for this coin. Keep in mind, if it was a regular 1870 Half in PR66 Cameo CAC it would easily cost $10,000+! Cert. Number 06645040 PCGS # 800036
