LOT 568 $5 1860 J-272. PCGS PR65 BN CAC This is an impressive GEM example of this very popular Rarity-6 (21-30 minted) pattern half eagle. A capped head of Liberty with three stars above the forehead, a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY flows down around her neck. Reverse shows a perched eagle. Both sides were designed by Longarce. Struck on a broad copper planchet. Exceptional, richly mirrored copper fields blaze with a strong reflection that has iridescent accents of teal-blue, coppery-gold, and lilac-purple. Sharply struck on both sides, this highly original and beautiful GEM offers a high-end, wonderful look. The idea tried on these patterns was to make a wider, but thinner planchet to avoid removing gold from the centers of the regular, thicker planchets and filling the void with lead or some other metal and pocketing the profit. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 2. This GEM is from our July 2018 Regency Auction, sold for $9,988 as part of the Steven Cook Collection. The current Collectors Universe value is $12,000. Since 2018, the market for GEM patterns has picked up with the recent sales of selections from the Bob Simpson Collection.

PCGS PR65 BN A popular “transitional” issue struck with the regular dies on a bronze planchet used from 1864-1909. Struck in medal turn, as opposed to coin turn, as typically seen. A Rarity-3 pattern, making it a great introductory level issue for those looking to “dip a toe” into the exciting world of pattern collecting. Brilliant, watery mirrors belie some wonderful golden-brown and lilac, rose, and violet accents. The strike is bold and the surfaces are devoid of any serious contact, lines, or flecks. The eye appeal is wonderful. PCGS 11, NGC 11. The most recent PCGS-graded examples sold in 2016, realizing $1,540 and $1,763. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $2,000.

These were struck for collectors and sold in sets with the motto GOD OUR TRUST on a ribbon and in the field and the adopted IN GOD WE TRUST on the ribbon. Ultra deep, watery reflective mirrors in the fields are a delight to behold. The frosted devices stand out boldly accented by original shades of gold, violet-rose, and soft blue patina.

This variety pairs a regular Proof 1863 obverse die and a post 1866 with Motto-reverse die. These were struck for collectors in the late 1860s and early 1870s and were sold in off-metal sets. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Bold, flashy mirrors are a delight to behold. Mahogany brown with iridescent blue and rose tones. A few light marks, from a gentle mishandling can be found with a strong glass and account for the assigned grade. Sharply struck. This is a wonderful looking coin for the grade, we think it will see very spirited bidding when it crosses the block. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The PCGS Price Guide value of $8,250 is all that is listed for this grade, as no PR63 BN ever sold in auction. The non-CAC PR64 BN in the Simpson Collection, brought $7,800 in the recent ANA auction. This coin is nicer. Bid accordingly. PCGS# 60508 | EST: $7,500+ 256 DAY 2

LOT 572 5C 1870 J-807. PCGS PR67 CAC Ex Simpson Collection, as noted on the insert. A VERY RARE low Rarity-7 Shield nickel pattern, struck from regular issue dies on a thin planchet. It is speculated by pattern expert, Saul Teichman that these were struck on three cent nickel planchets. If all known examples were weighed, we would know for sure. This is the SINGLE FINEST example of exactly 7 that have been certified by PCGS and NGC combined. Deep, ultra reflective mirrors beam boldly all over and are in a stunning state of preservation, devoid of any issues. The details are bold and fully struck from an exacting blow from the dies. Both sides are a blazing nickel-silver with bold cameo contrast. The eye appeal is amazing! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin brought $9,600 in January 2021 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $12,000. There are NONE FINER, and this is is a very RARE pattern Shield nickel that will fit into any world class Shield nickel set or in a specialized pattern cabinet. Good luck. PCGS# 61051 | EST: $9,000+ LOT 573 25C 1871 J-1102. PCGS PR67+ BN CAC Ex Simpson, as noted on the insert. This is the FINEST KNOWN J-1102 quarter. Struck from regular Proof dies in copper with a reeded edge. Listed as Rarity-7+ with just four or five known specimens. Impressively brilliant chocolate brown surfaces gleam and beam all over on this MONSTER quality SUPERB GEM. Struck from a late die state both sides show thin die cracks in the stars and legends. The fields are more lustrous than reflective with a bold cartwheel swirl. Iridescent overtones are amplified over the reddish-brown bronze colored surfaces, similar to that of medals struck at the Philadelphia mint in that era. The surfaces are essentially FLAWLESS, this SUPERB GEM has an amazing visual allure! PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. We suspect this coin is represented at both PCGS and NGC. Sold as part of the Simpson Collection in February 2021 for $14,400. The current Collectors Universe value is $16,000. With NONE FINER, this SUPERB GEM is worthy of a world class cabinet. Good luck!
