The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II This is the SINGLE FINEST example of this Judd number in the BN category. A glorious GEM Goloid Metric dollar pattern, an interesting coin that is directly related to the coinage proposal that brought about the famed $4 Stellas. George Morgan's Coiled Hair Head of Liberty, very similar to that of the ultra rare Stellas of 1879 and 1880. The reverse die shows the specific alloy of gold, silver, and copper within a circle of stars. GOLOID METRIC DOLLAR and GLORIA EST DEO around, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and 100 CENTS around that. Struck in copper with a reeded edge, this is a very rare Rarity-7- pattern, with fewer than a dozen thought to survive. Iridescent splashes of pastel colors pop boldly when the flashy, underlying sleek mirrors catch the light. Rose and violet hues come out boldly like an oil slick on a puddle. The devices are razor sharp and the surfaces are nearly flawless. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000. This is a great and historic pattern issue, part of the proposal for an international trade coinage system which would in theory facilitate trade with Europe. Cert. Number 18678783 PCGS # 62010
