Lot Description

THE FINEST GRADED! This is a stunning example of J-922, a very rare R-7+ variety with fewer than a half dozen known. Barber's Liberty wears a headband with raised LIBERTY, and a single star. Standard Silver reverse. Stuck in aluminum with a reeded edge. Finer than the Simpson coin which was PR66+ CAM and the Denali coin that was PR66 CAM. Deep beaming mirrors beam from all over and they are very clean and clear. There is no oxidation, haze, or pitting that is unfortunately common to the metal. Prior to this coin coming out, we thought the Simpson coin was FINEST. This one has a delicate dusting of icy-silver blue that really gives this SUPERB GEM an enchanting look. You will find it hard to not be hypnotized by the quality! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. In PR66+ CAM, the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $17,500. While the Simpson coin sold cheaply, the market for patterns has certainly warmed up, and we anticipate this one will see very strong bidding. Good luck! Cert. Number 35343097 PCGS # 800081
