1870 50C J-954, BN PR (PCGS#61200)

The Regency Auction 57

详细说明: This superlative GEM is one of the FINEST KNOWN examples of this VERY RARE Standard Silver half dollar variant. Featuring William Barber's bust of Liberty facing right with a plain diadem and headband with the word LIBERTY; Standard Silver reverse. Struck in copper with a plain edge, J-954 is a Rarity-7+ pattern with 4-6 examples estimated produced and survive in all grades and designations. WOW! Ultra flashy, highly reflective coppery mirrors beam boldly all over in the fields contrasting against the rich, frosted texture of the crisply defined reliefs. An extraordinary and vivid pale blue and violet patina creates a sensational overlay over nearly flawless surfaces, giving this GEM an off the charts eye appeal. PCGS 0, NGC 1, CAC 1. This remarkable beauty sold most recently in our September 2022 Regency Auction for $4,230; our consignor has changed directions and is allowing us to offer it again. Unpriced in the Collectors Universe Price Guide, it is much finer than the Bob Simpson PCGS PR64+. An important coin for the advanced collector of patterns, one that will fit nicely in any amazing cabinet! Cert. Number 3178342001 PCGS # 61200
