Lot Description

Ex Samuel Berngard Collection. R-7+ (4-6 minted). Longacre's Indian Princess obverse paired with a regular issue Proof die. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Among the finest of only five pieces known. This piece offers a boldly reflective and impressive look. The mirrors are watery and flashy, peering out from the rich shades of rose gold, blue, and olive patina. The eye appeal is excellent and totally original. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is a highly desirable obverse type and the present GEM is one of the finest. Last selling over five years ago, you can ignore that record. PCGS lists a $13,000 Price Guide value. Seems reasonable to us for a coin of this rarity! Cert. Number 06758849 PCGS # 61358
