Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-5 (31-75 minted). Capped head of Liberty with 3 stars. Standard Silver agricultural wreath reverse. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Very pretty, rich, original toning drapes the excellent watery reflective mirrored fields on both sides. Even using a strong glass the surfaces are devoid of any distractions and the eye appeal quite nice. PCGS 1, NGC 4. The Simpson sold in our January 2017 Regency Auction for $3,643.The most recent NGC-graded APRs were between $2,000 and $2,300. Only a single NGC PR67 is finer, which sold for $4,313 in June 2011 (this coin retains a better look and features a much sharper strike). Cert. Number 1633349-002 PCGS # 61132
