Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. Ex. Denali Collection. R-7- (6-12 minted). Regular issue die trial in nickel with a reeded edge. A very rare off-metal trial from previously unreported dies. Reflective watery mirrors beam on evenly toned nickel and gold toned surfaces with sharply struck devices. The surfaces are smooth, without any serious marks, lines, or discoloration. With strong eye appeal, this proudly ranking among the FINEST known examples of this rare Judd number. PCGS 1, NGC 1. In its most recent auction appearance, this GEM realized $12,925 in April 2015. Prior to that, it realized $18,400 in August 2011. Always appreciated as a major rarity, the Queller-Lemus coin sold for $20,700 in January 2009 in an NGC PR66 CAM holder. A great coin for any advanced pattern or Proof Seated Dollar collection. Cert. Number 06646553 PCGS # 61270
