Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-6- (21-30 minted). Regular dies struck in nickel with a plain edge. Sharply struck on both sides with a rich reflection in the fields. The surfaces are a light pewter-silver with accents of light rose, tan, and gold. The planchet has a detached lamination on the lower reverse that will forever identify this piece. PCGS 2, NGC 0. This is not the one that sold in March 2013 for $2,938. The only other PR64 to sell was back in May 1990! Clearly these are NOT common! Collector's Universe lists a value of $3,500 and it is possible that if two dedicated collectors battle it out, it could hit that. Add to it that advanced Indian cent collectors looking to expand their set could also be thrown into the bidding war, who knows what it could bring! Cert. Number 31958284 PCGS # 60583
