In many instances, fewerthan half a dozen sets were produced, and over the years,broken up. Not only are they popularly collected by patternspecialists, but in some cases advanced Collector’s of U.S.gold dollars would include these pattern issues to augmenttheir collections.

We also believe it is the Judd Plate coin. One of the most striking and high-end copper Standard Silver Patterns we have ever seen-even beating some of the Simpson coins! Exceptionally clear, clean,and powerfully reflective mirrors beam from both sides. The color is about 65% GEM ORIGINAL MINT RED. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have full strikes. The eye appeal is totally jaw dropping! That is why we picked it as one of the Denali highlight coins for the color catalog we put out. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are NO auction records for ANY GEMS. The Judd books lists a PR65 (which probably is a BN) for $11,000. We think this coin represents great value and opportunity. The current Collector’s Universe Value is a mere $7,900 (how could they figure that if NONE have ever sold via auction?). We think this coin’s rarity and stunning awesome looks could make the price realized closer to $10,000! PCGS# 71096 | ESTIMATE: $8,500+ LOT 849 25C 1870 J-911 PCGS PR66+ CAM CAC EX DENALI The FINEST KNOWN example of this very rare R-7+ Standard Silver Pattern. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. There were many varieties of Standard Silver coins produced between 1869 and 1871 in various different metals and with differing designs. This variety has a capped bust of Liberty facing right with three stars on the band. The reverse wreath is made of one branch each of laurel and oak. This simple design looks fantastic on the highly reflective and contrasted aluminum planchet. Indeed, the coin is blinding when viewed under a light. Most of these off metal strikings were produced as parts of special sets made for VIP clients at the mint to a very limited extent. Untoned and only the slightest bit of haze, but never dipped or conserved. As pretty today as the moment it was carefully removed from the dies. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the finest example known, and sold in our Regency XI Auction as lot 347 for $7,931. In January 2016’s Regency Auction XX, the Bob Simpson example, graded PR65 CAC sold for $7,931. Anyone building a collection of Standard Silver patterns should really take a good, hard look at this one and plan to bid liberally. PCGS# 800067 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+410

LOT 850$1 1871 J-1148. PCGS PR66 RB CACR-7+ 4-6 Minted. Struck in copper with a plain edge.Too bad this design never made it into coinage--it isbeautiful! The obverse features James Longacre’s SeatedIndian figure of Liberty and the reverse is the standard proofdie for the year. This coin is extremely high-end.Outstanding deep mirrors vividly beam from all over. Coppercoins rarely offer powerful mirrors like this-- totally cleanand clear. A bold mix of violet, red, and magenta hues aretotally original and blazes from both sides. Very similarsurfaces to bronzed copper medals produced at the mint.There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and everydetail is sharply struck and does have thick frost. The eyeappeal is awesome!PCGS 3, NGC 0, CAC 3. You can’t top the electricity ofthe colors and the flash of the mirrors here. A near twinto the one that sold in our July 2017 Regency Auction for$31,725 and the current Collector’s Universe value is listedat $34,500. This is a supreme example of a tough Longacredesign that was a near miss to become a regular US coindesign. This will be a stunning fit in any ones superbpattern collection.PCGS# 71410 | ESTIMATE: $23,000+ 411

LOT 851 $1 1872 J-1214. PCGS PR65+ CAM CAC A gorgeous GEM, and arguably the FINEST known example. The Barber/Longacre Indian Princess/ Commercial Dollar design is one of the most beautiful design that was not adopted for regular issue. The design shows Liberty seated wearing an Indian headdress. She supports the globe with flags and holds a pole with Liberty cap. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, considered to be R-7+, with about 4-6 examples known. These beautiful Commercial dollar patterns are the forerunner to the Trade Dollars issued starting the following year. Deep, bold mirrors have a blistering reflectivity that contrasts brilliantly against the razor sharp, frosted devices. Every detail is fully rendered and boldly impressed from an exacting, forceful blow from the dies. Since the time this coin was produced you can tell it was lovingly cared for, and even under intense scrutiny all you can find is a stray line or two. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the FINEST CERTIFIED example at either service. If you are an advanced collector of patterns, this piece is a MUST! Bid liberally! PCGS# 861485 | ESTIMATE: $27,000+412

It cannot be denied that thiscoin is among the absolute FINEST KNOWN examples.In April 2017, a non-CAMEO example brought $30,550and Collector’s Universe does not yet have an estimate forCAMEO. The above mentioned J-1615 was graded PCGSPR67+ CAM CAC realized $39,950.

LOT 853 $1 1879 J-1611. NGC PF68 CAM R-7- (7-12 minted). Regular issue Morgan dollar obverse paired with Morgan’s large eagle perched holding olive branch and arrows. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. What a great opportunity to be able to acquire a SUPERB example of this very RARE silver dollar pattern. Do not let the fact we have two examples in this sale fool you, the J-1611 is very rarely offered! Deep, beaming, reflective mirrors are the ultimate in cleanliness and clarity! George Morgan’s design elements are crisply embossed on both sides and are fully frosted, combining with the mirrors for a full CAMEO contrast. Flawless icy surfaces are smooth and totally problem free. We expect this SUPERB GEM to be a centerpiece in a world class collection of Morgan dollars or major pattern rarities! PCGS 0, NGC 1. This is the FINEST graded example at either service. There is a record for a PCGS/CAC non-CAM that sold in April 2017 for $30,550. This coin is a major pattern Morgan rarity, and is bound for extremely fierce bidding. PCGS# 134097 | ESTIMATE: $35,000+414

LOT 854$1 1879 J-1631. PCGS PR65 CACThe FINEST PCGS-graded example of this very rare “Goloid”dollar pattern, struck in goloid (an alloy of 5.46% gold,84.54% silver, and 10% copper) with a reeded edge. Thecoiled hair design designed by George Morgan is verysimilar to the graceful coiled hair bust of Liberty on theextremely rare $4 Stella patterns of 1879 and 1880, andis part of the monetary system that was proposed to createa metric coinage system that would allow for more fluidinternational acceptance. The coin is considered to be R-7-(7-12 examples).Highly reflective mirrors are the ultimate in depth and clarity.Both sides possess a marbled, polychromatic patina thatshows off amber, blue, gold, olive, tan, and russet hues. Theobverse has a distinctive, nearly cameo effect that reallyhighlights the frosty nature of the devices. The eye appealis SUPERB.PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. Finer than the Simpson coin, whichis a PCGS PR64+. The Garrett Collection coin, sold in March1980, still holds the record, selling for $19,000. We thinkthat with the sale of this remarkable coin that record mayfinally be eclipsed after nearly four decades! Good luck!PCGS# 62009 | ESTIMATE: $15,000+ 415

LOT 855 $1 1880 J-1650. PCGS PR65 CAM R-7- (7-12 minted). Metric or Goloid dollar pattern. Morgan’s Liberty head, with hair in a bun, plain headband inscribed LIBERTY. E PLURIBUS UNUM, 13 stars and date surround. Reverse: GLORIA EST DEO in cartouche with composition in beaded circle, all within an Agriculture wreath. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. A GEM example with superb reflective mirror flash. Boldly struck with such a force that the obverse shows buckling and fissures, all part of the minting process and adds to the visual interest. The eye appeal is very high-end and unmarred by any of the typical flaws that plague coins struck in aluminum, no haze or oxidation. PCGS 2, NGC 2. A PCGS PR65 non-CAM sold in August 2006, realizing $10,925--that was nearly a dozen years ago. An NGC PR65 CAM sold in 2017 for $11,100. There are none graded finer at PCGS. One of the best of the best at PCGS, and should see fierce bidding. PCGS# 534949 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+416
