Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-6- (21-30 minted). Charles Barber's Liberty Head, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around; same die as J-1674 above with E PLURIBUS UNUM above. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Multihued patina is dusted over watery reflective fields. Sharply struck devices really do stand out against the lovely mirrors. The eye appeal quite nice. PCGS 3, NGC 1. The most recent example of this grade sold in October 2014 for $1,998. Prior to that, the last one sold in January 1990! Clearly these don't appear with any frequency. Collector's Universe lists a value of $3,200 in 63 and this coin should fit into any advanced Liberty nickel set or any collection of patterns. Cert. Number 90079413 PCGS # 62089
