Lot Description

Barber's Liberty Head nickel Patterns of 1881-1883 are a great sub-set to specialize in. The J-1684 is a Rarity-6- with perhaps 21-30 known in all grades. Charles Barber's Liberty Head with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. The reverse die is an agricultural wreath with a large V in the center, small E PLURIBUS UNUM above. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. This is a wonderfully contrasted GEM, tied for FINEST in the designation, and among the finer pieces known in all designations. Multihued patina is dusted over watery reflective fields. Sharply struck devices really do stand out against the lovely mirrors, imparting a bold contrast. The eye appeal quite nice. PCGS 2, NGC 0. The most recent J-1684 to sell in auction was an NGC PR65 CAC that brought $4,320 in April 2021. Unpriced in the CAM designation, but in the non-CAM designation it is listed at $5,000. This one should bring more. Cert. Number 42242699 PCGS # 508787.00
