Lot Description

FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. A real GEM! Similar to the regular issue 3 cent nickel dies, struck in nickel with a plain edge. This is a relatively common pattern issue, rated as Rarity-4, 76-200 struck. The eye appeal is strong, as is the cameo contrast. Bold, icy mirrors have exceptional clarity and sheen for a coin struck in nickel and the surfaces are delicately dusted with a totally original pastel iridescent toning. PCGS 9, NGC 10, CAC 8. The last one sold four years ago in the 2018 FUN auction for $1,560. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,100. Just half a dozen are graded higher at PCGS in the CAM designation. Worthy of a world class three cent nickel set or a great coin to "dip your toe into the water" of pattern collecting. Cert. Number 25611636 PCGS # 388660
