Lot Description

FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II An amazing GEM example of this high Rarity-6+ Indian Head cent pattern. Struck from regular Proof dies in copper-nickel with a reeded edge, this is one of the FINEST KNOWN. High end, blazing mirrors are essentially flawless and of FULL GEM quality. Gloriously toned. The devices are crisply struck and standout boldly, creating an exceptional Cameo contrast giving this a fantastic visual allure. Double endorsed by CAC and Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Ex Heritage, July 2004, lot 7895; Heritage, December 2009, lot 1457; Bowers & Merena, June 2010, lot 3386. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 1. Off of the market for nearly a dozen years, this GEM is finally available to the current generation of pattern specialists. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,000 and it would not shock us if this Civil War era rarity brought more. Good luck. Cert. Number 21603549 PCGS # 134069
