Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION, PART 2. R-7+ (4-6 minted). Barber's Liberty, IN GOD WE TRUST and Stars around; regular Without CENTS die of 1883. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. One of the FINEST known of this ultra rare Liberty nickel pattern. Sharply struck on both sides the devices seem to float on wonderful rich reflective fields. Only a few hints of contact can be seen, but the surfaces are generally higher quality than the grade might imply. PCGS 1, NGC 3, CAC 2. This coin has never been in auction that we can find in our database. Indeed, the last example to sell was an NGC coin sold in November 2004 ANR for $10,695. PCGS has graded a single coin finer, which also has never sold via auction. The current PCGS Price Guide is $12,000 and if you are an advanced pattern nickel collector, or Liberty Head nickel collector, this coin will fit right at home in your set! This could be a once in a decade + opportunity--do not let it pass you by! Cert. Number 8206264 PCGS # 62094
