Lot Description

FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. A STUNNING DCAM GEM! Arguably the SINGLE FINEST KNOWN example of this Rarity-6 Pattern half. Regular 1862 Proof obverse die is paired with the transitional reverse with GOD OUR TRUST in the field above the eagle on the reverse. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. BOOMING intense mirrors beam boldly all over on this magnificent GEM. The devices are razor sharp and thick with a creamy, white frost. The fields are very clean, dusted with some original iridescent toning on both sides, with subtle blue and rose hues really popping in the light. The eye appeal is off the charts! WOW! Ex Stack's Bowers, March 2011, lot 6013, as PCGS PR65. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. Over 11 years ago, this coin brought a WORLD RECORD price of $5,463. These Civil War era transitional Motto patterns are a very popular and important sub-section, and were often sold in sets for collectors. Why not start your set today? Cert.
