Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-6- (21-30 minted). Struck from the regular 1863 dies, testing different compositions. Judd lists this one as 93% copper 7% Tin. A delicate satin frost glows in the fields from under olive tan patina. Very pleasing and original. PCGS 2, NGC 0. Collector's Universe does not list a value for this pattern. This one sold in the August 2015 ANA auction for $1,293, and prior to that there had not been one sold since June 2004, where one sold for $1,898. Advanced collectors of Indian Cents as well as pattern specialists often include these in their advanced sets! Cert. Number 31958279 PCGS # 70520
