1867 5C J-573, BN PR (PCGS#60783)

The Regency Auction 59

Lot Description: This is the SOLE FINEST example of this pattern Shield nickel in the BN category at PCGS. Struck from regular dies in copper, this Judd number is listed as a Rarity-6-, with 21-30 estimated to survive. This beauty is fresh to the market. Wonderfully brilliant brown mirrors beam with a watery reflectivity that enlivens splashes of iridescent blues, greens, and violets that give this GEM a sensational look. The devices are razor sharp and the surfaces are sleek and ultra clean. WOW! This coin ranks among the FINEST J-573, with just two numerically finer. PCGS 1, NGC 1. The last one in the BN designation to sell was a PR63 BN that sold back in March 2008! Unpriced in the PCGS Price Guide, this kaleidoscopically toned GEM has a similar (but in our opinion cooler patina) than the PR66 RB CAC that we sold for $7,050 in July 2020--nearly 3 years ago. Cert. Number 42031385 PCGS # 60783
