Description du lot

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-5 (31-75 minted). Longacre's Liberty head, similar to the adopted 3CN design, but with smaller date and wider rim. Reverse has a large Roman numeral III in a agricultural wreath, similar to the $3 gold piece. Struck in nickel with a plain edge struck in medal turn. Pleasing pewter-dove patina over reflective surfaces. Sharply struck and very original, this coin has a nice eye appeal. PCGS 7, NGC 4. The last one to sell was in March 2012 for $1,093. Before that the Simpson duplicate sold for $1,380 (NGC). The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,700. Cert. Number 35116908 PCGS # 60827
