The Regency Auction 51

Description du lot: FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. A GEM "transitional" pattern Seated Liberty half dollar struck from the regular issue 1863 Proof obverse paired with a reverse die that has GOD OUR TRUST in a ribbon in the field above the eagle. Struck on a bronzed copper planchet with a reeded edge, this is a Rarity-6- pattern issue from the Civil War era. Brilliant reflective fields are gleaming from below a layer of iridescent violet and blue patina. The surfaces are smooth and free of any post mint flaws, there is a tiny planchet flake on the lower reverse that will help identify this piece as the Richard Jewell coin. Ex. Heritage, May 2012, lot 4671 (as NGC); Richard Jewell Collection; Stack's Bowers, August 2013, lot 4277; our consignor. PCGS 2, NGC 4, CAC 3. The most recent example sold for $3,600 in June 2018 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,250. Precious few have ever graded higher and this is one of the FINEST with CAC approval. These fit nicely not just in pattern collections, but also in advanced Seated Liberty half dollar cabinets. We expect strong bidding from specialists. Cert. Number 27865091 PCGS # 60501
