The Regency Auction 26

详细说明: FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-7+ (4-6 minted). Regular Proof dies of 1863, struck on a copper planchet with a reeeded edge. Exceptionally bold mirrors beam with a gleaming red brilliance that is enhanced by shades of sea-green, brick, and violet. The design elements are sharp throughout and the eye appeal superb. While cataloged in Judd as a regular issue die trial, some experts believe these were minted the following decade in off-metal proof sets sold to collectors. Either way, it is VERY RARE. PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. This and the NGC coin are one in the same, we are able to plate match it to the one in the January 2009 sale of the Queller-Lemus Collection, and is ex: Public Auction Sale (Hollinbeck, 7/1953), lot 1985; Thomas Bergin Collection, June Sale (Stack's, 6/1984), lot 1174; Stuart C. Levine Collection (Bowers and Merena, 4/1986), lot 2272. In the sale of the Queller Collection, this coin realized $5,175. More recently it sold for $4,113, but that was a weaker market--August 2015 and the current Collector's Universe value is $5,500. Another great Civil War era GEM pattern that has a lot to offer!
