Lot Description

R-7+. 4-6 MINTED. Liberty faces right with a diadem with one star in front. Her hair partially tied up in a bun, rest flows down along her draped neck. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Dazzling mirrors beam from all over. They have great clarity, are clean, and have a bold reflection. The colors might be a bit funky but they look darn good featuring semi-electric shades of brown/green/purple swirl all over. Miss Liberty and every detail are fully struck and do have frost. The eye appeal is actually colorful! PCGS 1, NGC 0. Way back in 2003, a PR66 RB sold for $7,935. This is a pretty cool pattern, boasting both rarity, a neat design, great eye appeal, and one of the best possible pattern pedigrees--Simpson! Cert. Number 30934762 PCGS # 71205
