Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-5 (31-75 minted). Struck from regular Proof dies on a copper planchet with a plain edge. Visually very high end for the grade! Rich coppery mirrors beam from under a lovely array of violet hues that create a neat contrast on the fully struck reliefs. PCGS 5, NGC 2, CAC 3. This coin sold in November 2013 for $1,880 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,300. Very few are graded finer in the RB designation, the last PCGS example selling back in August 2004. Not only should this coin appeal to pattern collectors, but to very advanced collectors of three cent nickels. Cert. Number 27806398 PCGS # 70594
