Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. Ex Eric P. Newman Collection R-6+ (13-20 minted). Barber's Seated Liberty design obverse, Standard Silver reverse. Struck in silver with a plain edge. Clearly a coin that sat unmolested for decades in an old paper envelope. Rich lavender toning with accents of rose and olive grace both sides, overlaying watery reflective surfaces. Superbly original and very pleasing. PCGS 0, NGC 1, CAC 1. First sold in Part 1 of the Eric P. Newman Collection, April 2013, where it brought $4,994. More recently it resold in the weak 2015 FUN auction for $3,055. The Collector's Universe value is $5,950. This pattern dime has a great provenance and should fit in nicely in any set of GEMS. Cert. Number 2034618-071 PCGS # 61070
