Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-7+ (4-6 minted). Barber's Seated Liberty design on the obverse matched with the regular issue proof reverse. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. A beautiful GEM example of this VERY RARE pattern half dollar. Superior quality mirrors beam from all over, contrasting with the sharp, frosty devices, imparting a BOLD visual allure. The mirrors are deep and glittering, and the surfaces are devoid of any serious marks. The eye appeal is very high end. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. Most recently selling for $8,225 in July 2013. There is a record from 2010 where it sold for $12,650. A major RARITY, with maybe two others, including the Simpson coin, extant. A true prize for the advanced collector! Cert. Number 21425251 PCGS # 389202
