1870 50C J-942, BN PR (PCGS#61188)

The Regency Auction 59

Losbeschreibung: Ex Denali Collection, as noted on the insert. You do not get much rarer than the presently offered Standard Silver pattern. Listed as Rarity-8 in the Judd reference (10th Edition, 2009) and described as Rarity-7+ in other sources, the only other PCGS-graded example to ever sell was the PR64+ BN ex Simpson coin. Barber's capped bust of Liberty with ribbon inscribed LIBERTY, two stars, IN GOD WE TRUST on ribbon below STANDARD 50 CENTS in agricultural wreath. Struck in copper with a plain edge, there are perhaps five known in all. Deeply toned copper surfaces are nearly flawless. There are no serious marks or lines, a couple of toning flecks will forever identify this GEM. Among the FINEST of just a handful known. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The Simpson coin, a PCGS PR64+ BN without CAC, which was ex. Queller/Leums, brought $5,640 in our May 2017 Regency Auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $7,500. An important opportunity for the advanced collector. Cert. Number 6645026 PCGS # 61188
