Lot Description

FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-4 (76-200 minted). Liberty cap and rays (similar to 1836 gold dollar and contemporary Mexican silver coins); Roman numeral III within palm branch wreath reverse. Struck in silver with a plain edge. A beautifully toned GEM, tied for FINEST graded at PCGS. Highly polished dies have left the surfaces of this coin very reflective and with some light striations. Deeply toned at the rims with a gorgeous turquoise, cobalt, royal-purple, sunset-orange, and gold coming to a brilliant center on both sides. The eye appeal is SUPERB! PCGS 3, NGC 7. This coin does not appear to have been sold in auction and presents a much prettier eye appeal than we have seen! A recent J-125 sold in our January 2018 Regency Auction, where a PCGS PR64+ CAC sold for $4,465. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,500. Often included in advanced sets of 3CS, this gorgeous J-125 GEM would be a great beginning to an advanced set! Cert. Number 31776776 PCGS # 11536
