Losbeschreibung

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-6- (21-30 minted). A capped head of Liberty with three stars above the forehead, a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY flows down around her neck. Reverse shows a perched eagle. Both sides were designed by Longarce. Struck on a broad cooper planchet, the idea was to make a wider, but thinner planchet to avoid removing gold from the centers of the regular, thicker planchets. Richly mirrored copper fields blaze with a strong reflection that has iridescent accents of teal-blue, coppery-gold, and lilac-purple. Sharply struck on both sides, this highly original and beautiful GEM offers a high-end, wonderful look. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 2. This coin has not sold in auction that we can see. The only PR65 BN to sell in auction with a CAC was an NGC coin that sold in November 2010 for $8,936. The current PCGS value is listed at $9,500. Only one coin is finer in BN that has never sold in auction. This is one of this cataloger (GC) favorite pattern design, and with such a great eye appeal, we can see this one bringing a serious bid! Cert. Number 31698271 PCGS # 12078
