Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-6+ (13-20 minted). Barber's Union Shield design with crossed poles with eagle and cap. Reverse 5 CENTS in closed olive branch. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. TIED FOR FINEST! Flashy, vibrant mirrors beam from under a light dusting of iridescent white tone, typical of an aluminum pattern striking. Sharply struck and quite attractive. PCGS 3, NGC 5. The last NGC example sold $3,525 in April 2016. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $3,150. None are finer and this one should bring a strong price among nickel pattern specialists. Good luck! Cert. Number 3738520-004 PCGS # 62226
