FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. Ex Exemplar Collection. R-6- (21-30 minted). Charles Barber's coronet head of Liberty, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Reverse: PURE NICKEL within wreath FIVE above, CENTS below. Struck in pure nickel with a plain edge. The previous collection's name says it all: this J-1704 is exemplar! Highly contrasted mirrored fields and frosted devices have a neat black and white look on both sides, the eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 1, NGC 1. There are a few coins graded finer. We cannot find a record for this GEM. A PCGS PR64 DCAM sold in June 2011 for $3,738 and an NGC PR67 UCAM sold for $5,875 in the 2017 FUN auction. A PCGS PR65 CAM sold in April 2013 for $5,581. There is no Collector's Universe value. Good luck! Cert. Number 3678177-129 PCGS # 962120
