Lot Description

FROM THE SEATTLE COLLECTION What a cool Pattern three cent nickel! A more common Pattern, rated as an R-5. Longacre's Liberty head, similar to the adopted 3CN design, but with smaller date and wider rim. Reverse has a large Roman numeral III in a agricultural wreath, similar to the $3 gold piece. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Pleasing pewter-dove and clear gold patina over highly reflective surfaces. Sharply struck and very original, this coin has a GEM quality eye appeal. PCGS 4, NGC 3. This was the most recently sold PR65, sold in March 2013 for $2,350. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,400. There are two finer in the designation, this lovely coin will delight anyone working on any collection of patterns or three cent nickels. Cert. Number 26323063 PCGS # 60827.00
