The Regency Auction 57

详细说明: Ex Bass-Simpson, as noted on the insert. A lovely, high end CAMEO GEM example of this popular pattern cent. Longacre's design, very similar to the then current 3 cent nickel, this design type was struck in nickel with a plain edge. Common for a pattern, this Judd number is listed as Rarity-4, with perhaps 76-200 known in all grades. Bold reflection contrasts nicely against the frosted devices. A blush of iridescent toning on the reverse is noted, and the eye appeal is excellent. Ex. Leww Hewitt, April 1972 to Harry Bass; Harry W. Bass, Jr Collection, Part I, Bowers & Merena, May 1999, lot 1016; unknown intermediaries; Bob R. Simpson Collection; Heritage's January 2021 sale of the Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part III, lot 3145. PCGS 7, NGC 3, CAC 2. This GEM realized $2,100 two years ago. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $2,400. A truly impressive example of this popular pattern type. Cert. Number 40276490 PCGS # 80820
