The Regency Auction 27

Description du lot: FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-7+ (4-6 minted). Standard Silver design with a single star on the tiara. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. Another major rarity in the pattern series, with only a few known in all grades. This one is bested only by the PR66 CAM that we sold as part of the Simpson Collection. Deeply reflective, brilliant mirrors beam from all over creating a bold and beautiful CAMEO contrast on both sides. Sharply struck and offering a bold eye appeal, this near-GEM's mirrors are deep and clear. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 3. This coin is on the CAC roster twice as well as on the NGC population report. As an NGC coin in April 2015, this GEM brought $4,700, and the Simpson coin realized $8,519 in our January 2017 Regency Auction. What a great high-end coin for any advanced pattern collector. Cert.
