Lot Description

FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. This is an AMAZING GEM, among the FINEST J-570 certified by either service. Rarity-5 (31-75 minted). Design by Longacre. Obverse bust of Liberty facing left, similar to 3 cent nickel, but with a star on the coronet; reverse large 5 within wreath, IN GOD WE TRUST above. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Deeply reflective nickel silver surfaces gleam all over on both sides. The devices are sharply struck and have a warm frost that contrasts nicely against the fields. A delightful original patina can be seen when rotated in the light. Sharply struck the eye appeal is great. PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. This coin does not appear to have sold in auction, but the NGC PR66 CAM last sold in February 2015 for $4,113. Clearly the Collectors Universe value is inaccurate. The Simpson coin, the FINEST, a PCGS PR66+ DCAM CAC sold in the 2021 ANA for $5,160. We feel this GEM should sell somewhere in the middle of those records. Good luck. Cert. Number 25353434 PCGS # 860780
