1862 50C J-296, RB PR (PCGS#70446)

The Regency Auction XXI May 2017

详细说明: A “transitional” Seated Liberty half dollar pattern, struck with the regular issue obverse die, and the reverse displaying GOD OUR TRUST in the field above the eagle on the reverse. Struck on a bronzed copper planchet with a reeded edge and is considered R-6+. A sensational looking coin that is of essentially GEM caliber quality! Rich mahogany toning graces the hard, mirrored surfaces and all of the details are razor sharp and deeply embossed. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. Housed in an old, green label holder, this coin bears an excellent pedigree as well, James Bennett Pryor (Bowers & Merena, January 1996, lot 150)-George “Buddy” Byers (Stack’s, October 2006, lot 1207). Since that time, we have been able to trace three J-296s that have sold in auction across all color designations. A PCGS PR64 BN (non-CAC) sold in June 2011 for $2,875; an NGC PR65 BN (non-CAC) sold for $3,738 in November 2011; and an NGC PR64 RD CAC sold for $6,169 in April 2014. Back in 2006, this coin sold for $4,025 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,500. A wonderful pattern issue, usually collected as part of an advanced set of Seated Liberty half dollars (or among Civil War era coins, patterns, or just really neat pieces). Good luck.
