Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-5 (31-75 minted). Transitional pattern regular obverse of 1858/Reverse of 1859. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. For the assigned grade, this Flying Eagle pattern cent has a very strong eye appeal. Housed in an OGH, it possesses razor sharp definition to the details. There is a good amount of very pleasing toning and both sides show just a few minor hairlines and ancient flecks that are taken into account with the PCGS grade. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. Prior to becoming CAC-approved, this coin sold for $1,763 in the notoriously weak 2015 FUN auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,750. Cert. Number 1457845 PCGS # 11844
