Lot Description

FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. A VERY RARE, Rarity-7+ pattern twenty cent piece, struck in aluminum with a plain edge, this issue has the famed Liberty by the Seashore design on the obverse and 1/5 of a DOLLAR in a wreath on the reverse. Perhaps as many as four examples are known of this VERY RARE issue. Intensely reflective mirrors beam all over on this boldly contrasted GEM. The details are sharply rendered and have thick, full frost, imparting a bold CAMEO effect. The eye appeal is amazing. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin sold exactly a decade ago, in the 2012 Central States Auction for a record $13,225. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $15,000 and in today's market, we think it could bring more. A sensational rarity that will fit nicely in an advanced set of 20-cent pieces. Good luck. Cert. Number 24273308 PCGS # 800018
