Description du lot

A very rare, R-7- (7-12 minted). Liberty head right with no star on diadem. Standard Silver reverse. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. A very neat Standard Silver pattern. First the mirrors are strong and beaming with only a touch of iridescence visible, not at all hazy like many aluminum patterns ended up. The strike is bold throughout with just a hint of weakness on the coronet and hair curls. Struck from a cracked reverse die and there are some mint made planchet flaws on the reverse. High end for a 64 and approaching a cameo like contrast. PCGS 5, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is the NGC/CAC coin we sold in May 2018, where it brought $2,468. The collector who bought it has changed directions. It has since clearly crossed over. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $3,250 and this is a very rare opportunity to acquire this RARE pattern! Worthy of a great pattern collection! Cert. Number 36123300 PCGS # 60981
