Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-6- (21-30 minted). Struck from regular dies with Large Motto in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Highly reflective mirrored fields are bathed with a delicate olive, gold, tan, and rose accents. The sharply struck up devices are nicely frosted, and while not fully cameoed, there is significant contrast and the eye appeal is very nice despite some minor ticks here and there. PCGS 7, NGC 4. The most recent J-371 to sell in auction was an NGC coin that realized $3,163 in August 2007; earlier that year a PCGS coin sold for $2,760. Today PCGS lists a Price Guide value of $3,750. Only one coin is finer, a PR66 that we sold in December 2013 for $14,950. Another great Civil War era pattern that would fit nicely in an advanced collection of 2C pieces as well. Cert.
