Description du lot

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-6- (21-30 minted). Longacre's Liberty head left similar to three cent nickel. Large Roman numeral V CENTS in wreath reverse. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. An elusive nickel pattern that is rarely seen in any grade. Flashy fields and frosty devices do have a slight glossy look, suggestive of an ancient wiping, but not harsh enough to leave any hairlines. Well struck and pleasing. PCGS 2, NGC 2. The most recent coin sold for $999 in the 2017 ANA auction. This coin sold in auction back in March 2005 for $1,500 and the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $1,700. With its similar design to the 3CN, we think there is going to be a lot of crossover appeal among advanced collectors. Cert. Number 21867666 PCGS # 61309
