Even with a strong glass the number of marks is minimal and none are serious to detract from the near-GEM eye appeal. PCGS 352, NGC 352, CAC 48. There has not been an NGC/ CAC coin sold in auction since July 2014, that coin selling for $3,525. Note: ALL CAC approved examples have sold for $2,200 or more! This one should likewise do the same. Great for any holding of U.S. gold, or set of $10 Indians. PCGS# 8865 | ESTIMATE: $1,300+ LOT 487 $10 1911 NGC MS65 CAC A simply beautiful and exquisite GEM example. Rich orange-gold color is brought out by a bold, swirling cartwheel mint luster. The surfaces are devoid of all but the most insignificant contact, only the slightest contact can be seen with a strong glass. No singular marks are worthy of mention. The sharply struck elements stand out giving this beauty a great look. PCGS 93, NGC 151, CAC 49. According to our records, only four CAC-approved examples have sold in auction, non since the NGC coin sold in November 2013 for $8,754. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $7,500.

LOT 488$10 1912 PCGS MS66 CACSold in our October 2017 Regency Auction where itwas described as:“Truly a beautiful example--fully GEM 1912 with abold radiant luster that shines over gorgeous two-tonegold surfaces. The details are crisply defined andsharply embossed. The luster is full and complete istotally eye appealing. A tiny number of little ticks aremostly hidden and do not take away from the overalleye appeal of this stunning beauty! While the mintageof 405,000 allowed for ample survivors for collectorsto be able to acquire an example, in GEM and finergrades, so few exist, making it very difficult to find oneif you demand a high grade example foryour collection.PCGS 10, NGC 11, CAC 5. There are a mere 3 piecesthat have graded higher at PCGS, 1 in MS66+ and twoin MS67. The 66+ is a featured coin in the Crow RiverCollection, offered earlier in this sale. The most recentMS66 to sell was the Bentley Shores Collection coinsold in the 2013 ANA auction, realizing $23,500. Thatcoin was NOT CAC-approved, and we think that thiscoin will certainly see very serious bidding activity. Ifyou missed out on the Crow River coin, here is a veryrare and important opportunity for the advanced 20thCentury gold collector!”On a $23,000-$26,000 estimate, it realized $30,550.The buyer unfortunately is facing some hardships andhas had to put up this prize for auction. With the coinmarket in stronger now for rare date gold, we suspect itwill realize a simlar strong price today!PCGS# 8871 | ESTIMATE: $23,000+ 251

LOT 489 $20 1853 PCGS AU55 CAC A highly original AU Type 1 double eagle that has a classic, old European holding look. Both obverse and reverse show a soft satin sheen under a layer of original toning. Olive hues blend with nice, honey-wheat gold and a patina described as “vault dust” which is instantly recognizable by anyone who has handled coins from these old European holdings. There is some minor contact at the lower reverse mentioned for accuracy, but can be overlooked in light of the high end look. PCGS 108, NGC 309, CAC 34. The most recent one sold for only $2,468 in February 2018. Before that, these were selling for $3,525 to $4,115. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $3,400. This coin has a really strong eye appeal and should sell in the above cited range! PCGS# 8908 | ESTIMATE: $2,400+ LOT 490 $20 1857-S 20A, SPIKED SHIELD. PCGS MS64 Ex. S.S. Central America. Housed in the original holder from the first group of coins recovered from this famed shipwreck, coming with certificate number A1637. Like the thousands of 57-S $20s that were aboard the ill-fated side wheel steamer recovered, this coin was exceptionally well preserved by the icy depths of the ocean. A superb quality golden luster beams from all over accenting a crisp strike, displaying full definition on both obverse and reverse. A few scattered marks are noted and account for the assigned grade, but you really cannot beat this coin’s looks! PCGS 1087, NGC 117. The most recent example sold for $8,225 in June 2017, and these have generally sold for between $7,600 and $9,988. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500.

These heavy coins banged around and this one has less bag marks than normally seen. The eye appeal is quite nice. Type One $20s are among the most popular series of gold coins to collect, they are big, heavy, historic, and of course gold. Nice sliders like this are very few and far between. PCGS 52, NGC 140, CAC 20. The most recent PCGS/CAC coin to sell in auction realized $4,680 in February 2018 and the current CU value is $5,000. While the 56-S and 57-S are common because of the S.S. Central America wreck, no hoards of 58-S have ever come out. Working on a set? Add this one today!

Only three PCGS/CAC coins have ever sold in auction, the most recent from the Gilded AgeCollection in the 2014 ANA auction, realizing $16,450. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $12,500 but for aHIGH END coin like this, that seems too low! Scarce any finer, with the finest examples grading MS63.

The currentPCGS value is listed at $24,500 and they haveconsistently sold in the general $20,000-$23,000range.

LOT 498 $20 1908-S PCGS MS66 CAC WOW! A low mintage issue, one of 22,000 minted, and this SUPERB GEM ranks near the top of the Population Report, with just seven coins reported finer. This remarkable survivor has a bold satiny frost that glows from all over. The surfaces are smooth and free of any serious marks. In fact, even using a powerful glass there are just one or two tiny ticks that we note only for the sake of full disclosure, but they are generally hidden out of the prime focal areas. The luster radiates with a strong blossoming glow bringing out the rich golden color and accenting the exceptionally sharp devices. The details are crisply embossed into the essentially flawless planchet. With the bold strike, luster, color and PQ surfaces, you know the eye appeal is SUPERB! PCGS 10, NGC 5, CAC 10. The last PCGS coin to sell in auction was NOT CAC approved, selling for $94,000 in the 2016 ANA auction. The market was not as robust then as it is now and when this SUPERB coin crosses the block we have ZERO doubt that the bidding will exceed the current $100,000 PCGS Price Guide value. Seven coins are graded finer: 3 in 66+ (none have ever sold in auction) and 4 in 67 (the most recent being the Norweb/Duckor PCGS MS67 CAC that sold for $161,000 back in 2012).

The last PCGS/ CAC coin sold for $13,200 in the 2018 FUN auction. Prior to that, these have sold between$8,050 to $9,775. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $7,000.

Sharply struck,and devoid of any serious bagmarks the eye appeal is high end!PCGS 1543, NGC 518, CAC 27. The last CAC-approved cointo sell in auction was a PCGS graded example that realized$7,638 in November 2016. The only NGC/CAC coin to sellbrought $8,625 in the 2012 FUN auction. Worthy of a veryserious bid from the advanced $20 gold collector!PCGS# 9173 | ESTIMATE: $2,250+ LOT 501 $20 1923 NGC MS65 CAC Gem quality in every sense. Brilliant satin luster blooms on both sides, swirling around the sharply struck up devices. Deep, orange gold coloration on both sides adds to the excellent, original eye appeal. Even using a strong glass, you will not be able to find any significant mark, like or copper spotting that mars the eye appeal. PCGS 496, NGC 122, CAC 8. With only four coins graded finer for the date (all PCGS MS66), there is clearlya lot of duplication at the 65 level trying for a 66 grade. It is amazing that only 8 out of over 600 grading events have received a CAC sticker--that just goes to show how this date comes! Only one CAC coin ever sold in auction, bringing $9,401 in the 2014 FUN auction. With none of the 66s bearing a CAC bean, this is among the finest CAC coins available! Good luck! PCGS# 9175 | ESTIMATE: $6,000+ 257

LOT 502 $20 1923-D PCGS MS66 Strong luster swirls on both the obverse and reverse of this GEM 23-D $20. Sharply struck devices stand out boldly, even Ms. Liberty’s face is totally struck up. The surfaces are clean, smooth, and devoid of any serious marks and the eye appeal is very nice. PCGS 1660, NGC 863. While considered “generic” this date is much scarcer in MS66 than the 1924, 1927, or 1928, without any serious premium. With such low premiums right now, it would be a great idea to add some generics to any holding. PCGS# 9176 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+ LOT 503 $20 1924-D PCGS MS63 Very scarce! Remember that while many of these later mintmarked issues were struck in the millions, the vast majority were deposited in treasury vaults and melted into bars in the 1930s. Today, it is estimated that about 1,200 survive and these are mostly graded MS63 and lower. The presently offered MS63 has a very nice surface quality with a swirling, cartwheel luster that glows around the sharply struck devices. Accents of rich golden-orange color really come out when you rotate this fully CHOICE coin in a light. We do note some tiny contact marks that account for the assigned grade, none of which individually affect the eye appeal. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 183, NGC 95. Finer than what you usually see for the assigned grade, this one will sell for more than the current CU value of $7,000. RARE any finer! PCGS# 9178 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ OUR ESTIMATES The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale. We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. We are here to help you!258

Gobrecht’s Seated Liberty design with LIBERTY incuse on ribbon; perched eagle with four arrows and olive branch reverse. Struck in copper with a plain edge, on medal (rather than coin turn) die alignment, this is a restrike produced possibly in the 1870s. Extremely reflective fields flash with deep, clear mirrors. A lovely patination on both sides and a sharp, chiseled strike give the appearance of a mint medal struck during the era, with exacting definition of the fine details throughout.

The most recent PCGS coin sold for $1,880in June 2015 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $1,850. There are only a dozen coins graded finer. This is a very cool “entry level” pattern issue. PCGS# 11966 | ESTIMATE: $1,600+ 263

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 513 50C 1859 J-238 PCGS PR64 RB R-5 (31-75 minted). Longacre’s “French Liberty Head” obverse, HALF DOLLAR in cereal wreath reverse. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Designated RB on the slab, both sides are mostly RED. Richly mirrored on both sides, there is a strong contrast between the sharply struck devices and the reflective fields surrounding them. While only an R-5, it is a challenging issue to find so fine! PCGS 2, NGC 1. This coin has sold twice in auction previously, the most recent appearance was in October 2012 where it realized $2,530 (earlier it had realized $3,048 in November 2011). The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $3,000 and there is only a PR66 RB finer at PCGS in the designation. What a great looking near-GEM that shows how under appreciated patterns can be! PCGS# 11969 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+ LOT 514 50C 1859 J-239. NGC PF65 R-4 (76-200 minted). James Longacre’s “French” Liberty head. Reverse: 1/2 DOLLAR within cereal wreath. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Icy, chrome-like mirrors beam on both sides, unencumbered by any toning. Sharply struck up on obverse and reverse, this coin has a pleasing look. PCGS 5, NGC 5. This is not the coin sold in Stack’s Bowers April 2016 for $2,233; nor is it the Queller coin that sold in January 2009 for $3,220. Those are the only two NGC coins sold since 2003. Seems reasonable for a coin so infrequently offered. PCGS# 11972 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ LOT 515 50C 1859 J-241. PCGS PR61 R-4 (76-200 minted). James Longacre’s “French” Liberty head. Reverse: 50 CENTS within cereal wreath. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Well struck, the present Pattern half dollar offers full definition with light reflection in the fields. Wiped long ago, resulting in some directional hairlines. The eye appeal however is decent for the modest grade. PCGS 4, NGC 7. This is not the last PCGS coin to sell, which was back in 2003, realizing $1,265. More recently an NGC coin sold in March 2010 for $1,438. The current PCGS value is $1,500. Another neat French Head half dollar. PCGS# 11978 | ESTIMATE: $1,200+264

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 516 50C 1859 J-242. PCGS PR64 BN R-5 (31-75 minted). James Longacre’s “French” Liberty head. Reverse: 50 CENTS within cereal wreath. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Deeply reflective copper mirrors have toned nicely in a rich green/brown patina with some light blue accents. The devices are sharply struck and the eye appeal is quite nice. PCGS 6, NGC 4. The last one to sell realized $1,410 in March 2015, but it did not have the outstanding eye appeal of thepresently offered coin. Ex Frank O. Fredricks Collection, Heritage, January 2004, lot 8401, where it sold for $1,955; earlier ex Superior’s Piedmont Sale, January 1996, lot 1226. An eye appealing example, this near-GEM should see spirited bidding. PCGS# 11980 | ESTIMATE: $1,400+LOT 51750C 1859 J-245. PCGS PR61R-6+ (13-20 minted). Longacre’s “French Liberty Head” ispaired with Paquet’s eagle reverse. Struck in silver with areeded edge.Reflective mirrors still shine with a steely brilliance despite anancient wiping. Accents of slate-blue and hints of gold can bedetected when rotated in a light.PCGS 1, NGC 0. This coin has not sold in auction. The currentCollector’s Universe value is listed at $1,950. A very rarepattern that not often appears in auction in any grade!PCGS# 11988 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+ LOT 518 H10C 1860 J-267. PCGS MS65 R-4 (76-200 minted). With Stars obverse in use to 1859 paired with the Regular 1860 reverse die. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Delightful, brilliant silver luster gleams on both sides. Some weakness of strike is noted but the eye appeal is excellent. A very popular Transitional issue, which has been popularly collected alongside regular issue half dimes, as well as patterns. Flashy with hints of Prooflike luster. A great looking example of this historic issue. PCGS 8, NGC 15. These consistently sell in the $4,000 to $4,600 going back to 2009 and the PCGS value is listed at $6,000. With multiple areas of numismatics encased in this one coin, it should see strong bidding from collectors. Good luck! PCGS# 4373 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+ 265

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 519 $5 1860 J-272. PCGS PR65 BN CAC R-6- (21-30 minted). 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 cooper planchet, the idea was to make a wider, but thinner planchet to avoid removing gold from the centers of the regular, thicker planchets. 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. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 2. This coin has not sold in auction that we can see. The only PR65 BN to sell in auction with a CAC was an NGC coin that sold in November 2010 for $8,936. The current PCGS value is listed at $9,500. Only one coin is finer in BN that has never sold in auction. This is one of this cataloger (GC) favorite pattern design, and with such a great eye appeal, we can see this one bringing a serious bid! PCGS# 12078 | ESTIMATE: $7,750+ LOT 520 3C 1863 J-322. PCGS PR62 CAC R-7+ (4-6 minted). Struck from the regular 3CS dies in an aluminum with a plain edge. Sold in sets that include the muled 1863 obverse and With Motto reverse of 1866. Generally very pleasing with an icy look. Taking in just the obverse you see a coin that is finer than you would expect of a 62 grade. The reverse has some streaks that were in the planchet, as made at the mint. Housed in an OGH. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin was first offered in Stack’s September 1997 sale where it realized $3,300 and more recently it sold for $2,943 (prior to being CAC’d). The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $3,750. A PCGS PR63 sold in the Central States 2018 auction for $6,000. A very rare pattern!

EXCHANGED FOR U.S. NOTES around. Reverse: Denomination, date, in center, POSTAGE CURRENCY and ACT JULY 1862 around. Struck in silver with a plain edge. Historically important pattern struck in an effort to try and relieve the coinage shortage created by the Civil War. Deeply reflective, blazing silver surfaces, only a single toning spot is noted. High end for the grade with only some minor chatter. PCGS 7, NGC 4, CAC 2. The most recent PR63 graded by PCGS sold in August 2015, but was not CAC-approved. The current PCGS Price Guide lists a $2,000 valuation, which seems very reasonable given its historic relevance and rarity. PCGS# 60482 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+266

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 522 10C 1863 J-326A. PCGS PR64 Ex. David Cassel Collection. R-6+ (13-20 minted). Postage Currency proposal. Small shield with olive branches and arrows around. EXCHANGED FOR U.S. NOTES around. Reverse: Denomination, date, in center, POSTAGE CURRENCY and ACT JULY 1862 around. Struck in billon (PCGS lists the composition as 84% copper and 16% silver) with a plain edge. Deeply toned in shades even brown with olive, gold, andazure overtones. The devices are extremely bold in strike and the surfaces, even under close examination do not reveal any marks or lines. PCGS 7, NGC 2. In the 2015 ANA auction, Heritage offered the David Cassel Collection, a reference collection of thesehistorically interesting patterns. He owned FOUR PCGS PR64s, this one selling for $2,115. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $3,000 and should attract the attention of any Civil War era numismatic enthusiast! PCGS# 60485 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+LOT 52350C 1863 J-338. NGC PF63R-5 (31-75 minted). Regular issue obverse paired with thereverse with GOD OUR TRUST in a ribbon over the eagle.Struck in silver with a reeded edge.Part of the series of new with Motto issues begun in 1861. Deeprose and slate dominate with hints of pewter gold throughout.A watery reflection to the mirrors catches the light and gives lifeto the subtleties to the totally original toning. Very pleasing eyeappeal for the assigned grade.PCGS 4, NGC 4. There has not been an example of this Judd number sold for over eight years, the last one selling in aPCGS encapsulation for $2,128 and the current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $2,800. What a neat coin to add to anadvanced collection of Proof Seated half dollars, or specialized set of Civil War era patterns.PCGS# 60500 | ESTIMATE: $2,000+ LOT 524 1C 1864 J-353. PCGS MS63 R-6- (21-30 minted). Struck from the regular 1863 dies, testing different compositions. Judd lists this one as 93% copper 7% Tin. A delicate satin frost glows in the fields from under olive tan patina. Very pleasing and original. PCGS 2, NGC 0. Collector’s Universe does not list a value for this pattern. This one sold in the August 2015 ANA auction for $1,293, and prior to that there had not been one sold sinceJune 2004, where one sold for $1,898. Advanced collectors of Indian Cents as well as pattern specialists often include these in their advanced sets! PCGS# 70520 | ESTIMATE: $1,300+ 267

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 525 2C 1864 J-371. PCGS PR65 R-6- (21-30 minted). Struck from regular dies with Large Motto in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Highly reflective mirrored fields are bathed with a delicate olive, gold, tan, and rose accents. The sharply struck up devices are nicely frosted, and while not fully cameoed, there is significant contrast and the eye appeal is very nice despite some minor ticks here and there. PCGS 7, NGC 4. The most recent J-371 to sell in auction was an NGC coin that realized $3,163 in August 2007; earlier that year a PCGS coin sold for $2,760. Today PCGS lists a Price Guide value of $3,750. Only one coin is finer, a PR66 that we sold in December 2013 for $14,950. Another great Civil War era pattern that would fit nicely in an advanced collection of 2C pieces as well. PCGS# 60541 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+ LOT 526 H10C 1864 J-378. PCGS PR64 BN CAC R-7- (7-12 minted). Struck from the regular issue Proof dies in copper with a reeded edge. Thought to be restrikes, this is evident by the die rust in the central devices. Smooth, even chocolate brown color on both sides accents a pristine, crisp strike. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin sold in March 2014 auction for $1,763, and prior to that it sold three years earlier for $2,415. A VERY RARE issue that will certainly find itself at home in an advanced collection of half dimes. What a neat coin! PCGS# 60549 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+ LOT 527 10C 1864 J-381. PCGS PR65 RD CAC R-7- (7-12 minted). Struck from regular issue Proof dies in copper with a reeded edge, believed to be a restrike. Deeply watery mirrored fields reflect out from a bold sunset orange and fiery copper red. Showing off a light lilac overtone, this GEM has a great look. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $5,250. Last sold in September 2014 for $4,113, this GEM will delight any collector of patterns or Proof Seated dimes looking to expand their sets. Good luck! PCGS# 80552 | ESTIMATE: $3,500+268

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 528 1C 1865 J-406. PCGS PR64 R-6- (21-30 minted). Regular dies struck in nickel with a plain edge. Sharply struck on both sides with a rich reflection in the fields. The surfaces are a light pewter-silver with accents of light rose, tan, and gold. The planchet has a detached lamination on the lower reverse that will forever identify this piece. PCGS 2, NGC 0. This is not the one that sold in March 2013 for $2,938. The only other PR64 to sell was back in May 1990!Clearly these are NOT common! Collector’s Universe lists a value of $3,500 and it is possible that if two dedicated collectors battle it out, it could hit that. Add to it that advanced Indian cent collectors looking to expand their set could also be thrown into the bidding war, who knows what it could bring! PCGS# 60583 | ESTIMATE: $2,500+LOT 52910C 1865 J-421. PCGS PR64 RB CACR-7+ (4-6 minted).

George Washington’s bust facing right, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. 5 CENTS inside a wreath, IN GOD WE TRUST above. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Virtually ultra deep mirrors beam boldly from all over. The mirrors offer outstanding clarity and cleanliness. When you twirl the coin all you see is an intense flash. There are very trivial patches of gold splashed about. This coin is totally original and has never been messed with. The contrast is pretty bold. George Washington and all of the details are pinpoint sharp in strike and have creamy white thick frost. The eye appeal is a full WOW! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. We know of no auction or accurate price guides for this coin. It should be noted that a regular PR66 Cameo CAC would cost at least $5,000 if you could even find one. This coin would be a wicked neat addition to Pattern or even Nickel Collection! PCGS# 860656 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 533 5C 1866 J-489. NGC PF64 R-6- (21-30 minted).

James Longacre’s Indian Princess head facing left. Reverse shows an ornately framed Union shield with a large Roman numeral V in the center, IN GOD WE TRUST above. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. First off, this is one of this cataloger’s (GC) FAVORITE designs in the pattern series! For an example in aluminum, this coin has a wonderful, deep reflection that contrasts against the frosty and crisply struck devices. Longacre’s design is elegant and simple, yet offers great detail. Vibrant silvery surfaces aredevoid of any haze or corrosion that usually plague aluminum planchets, and we note only a few tiny ticks for accuracy, none that detract from the eye appeal. PCGS 2, NGC 3, CAC 2. Only one PR64 CAM has ever sold in auction, an NGC-graded example that realized $3,290 inNovember 2012. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,750.

Struck for a limited number of complete off metal proof sets made for collectors. Highly reflective mirrors beam from all over. A delicate pewter-grey, silver, icy chrome color delight the eye. Lacking any serious condition issues, this coin has a nice look for the assigned grade. PCGS 2, NGC 1. The only example to sell was the Newman coin, likely now on the PCGS population, as this is the only 64 on the NGC census. That coin realized nearly $5,000 in November 2014. A PCGS PR63 sold in June 2010 for $7,475. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $8,500. PCGS# 60854 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 538 10C 1868 J-648. PCGS PR65 BN CAC R-6+ (13-20 minted).

Deep and highly reflective mirrors really beam from all over. You do NOT have to imagine the mirrors. The mirrors are also exceedingly clear and clean. Both sides enjoy a marvelous totally original coloration of chocolate brown/blue/pale purple. There are NO spots or discolorations. There actually is a slight cameo contrast visible. Miss Liberty and the details are so sharply struck they look like they are carved from a block of freshly made pricey chocolate. The eye appeal is phenomenal! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 2. There is only one coin graded higher. We see no records of this coin ever being sold via auction. ANY PR 65 BN Large Cent CAC would be worth a minimum of $8-$10,000.00. This coin is not only a different denomination, but is a fraction of the cost of a regular proof. The current Collectors Universe Value is only $4,750.00-which to us seems ridiculously cheap. You certainly do not get opportunities to buy a really wicked neat GEM coin like this too often. PCGS# 60866 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+ LOT 539 10C 1868 J-649. NGC PF65 R-7- (7-12 minted).

Last sold over three years ago, it realized $2,585 in the 2015 FUN auction. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $4,750.

One of the FINEST extant! Deeply reflective with a vibrant, icy, chrome-like vibrance. There are a few tiny ticks and planchet flaws that can only be seen with the aid of a strong glass. Housed in a first generation PCGS holder. PCGS 2, NGC 0. Other one that sold was environmentally damaged and its result has no bearing on the market value of a higher quality piece. This one realized $3,466 in May 2013 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,000. A great coin for any advanced collector, it is a major rarity in the Standard Silver series.

The aforementioned Simpson coin sold for$1,175 and these have generally sold in the $1,100 to $1,500range since 1997. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,900. The last PCGS PR64 to sell was in 1994! Clearly,although “only” R-5, these rarely appear at auction!PCGS# 60960 | ESTIMATE: $1,000+ LOT 548 25C 1869 J-736. NGC PF65 RB Ex Lemus Collection. R-7- (7-12 minted). Standard Silver design with a single star on the headband. Struck in copper with plain edge. Nearly full RED, this GEM has some areas of toning, thus the RB designation assigned by NGC. Highly reflective mirrors beam from all over and the sharply struck devices do stand out with a moderate amount of contrast. From Heritage’s January 2009 sale of the Queller/Lemus Collection, lot 1708; earlier ex Lee Collection, Superior, September 1988, lot 2843. PCGS 0, NGC 1.

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 549 25C 1869 J-737. PCGS PR64 R-7+ (4-6 minted). Standard Silver design with a single star on Liberty’s headband. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. A major rarity in the Standard Silver series, this flashy, highly reflective example does have some of the typical spots that plague many aluminum coins struck. Still the mirrors are quite bold, these spots affecting only certain areas of the devices. The eye appeal is quite decent! PCGS 1, NGC 0. This coin is ex David Aker’s Session of Auction ‘90, lot 1716, where it realized $2,100. More recently it sold for only $1,880 in June 2014. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,500.

PCGS PR64 CAM R-7- (7-12 minted). Standard Silver design with Liberty wearing a headband with a single star. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. A very rare pattern indeed, with perhaps fewer than half a dozen surviving. EXCESSIVELY RARE with the CAMEO designation, with just this one and the PR65+ CAM sold as part of the Simpson Collection so graded. Well-struck, frosted design elements stand out against the highly reflective, chrome-like fields. A couple of mint made laminations can be seen in the fields on the obverse, but they do not really detract from the eye appeal. PCGS 1, NGC 1. This coin was the NGC coin sold in April 2014 for $2,820. There is NO PCGS value in the CAM designation, but in non-CAM PCGS suggests a value of $3,500. Very rare with only a handful of specimens known in all grades! PCGS# 519837 | ESTIMATE: $2,500+ LOT 551 50C 1869 J-742. PCGS PR64 R-5 (31-76 minted).

Sharply struck with fully defined design elements, the mirrors are somewhat subdued by the deep toning. PCGS 12, NGC 2. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,250 and we cannot find an auction appearance for this near-GEM. A great “type” for the beginning pattern collector. PCGS# 60969 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+276

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 552 50C 1869 J-748. PCGS PR63 R-5 (31-75 minted). Standard Silver design with Liberty wearing a starless diadem. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Flashy watery mirrors show only a few very minor lines and some pale toning identify this CHOICE old holdered example. Sharply impressed on both sides, this coin has a great look for the grade. PCGS 13, NGC 0. The last three PCGS coins to sell in auction were all OGH, realizing $1,560 to $1,725 and the currentPCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,400.

When sold in the 2011 FUN auction, it realized $11,500--more recently it sold for $8,225 in the 2015 FUNauction, a sale noted for having happened during a weak period in the market. Still today, the PCGS Price Guide value islisted at $11,000. Prior to this one selling in 2011, one sold in November 2009 for $14,950.

PCGS PR64+ CAM CAC R-7- (7-12 minted). Die trial of the regular Proof dies struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. A very attractive, essentially GEM quality example of this rarity. The aluminum die trials are believed to have been produced for sale to a select group of collectors. This coin has blistering mirrors that have a bold clarity. No haze or environmental damage that often is seen on coins in this metal. Indeed, all we can see with a strong glass are a few stray die polish lines and a minor planchet flaw in the coronet. The eye appeal is excellent!PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin’s most recent auction appearance realized $8,519 in June 2016 but before that, it realized $10,350 in an April 2012 auction. This also appears to be the PR65 in an OGH that sold in March 2011 for $17,250. This is an exceptionally RARE pattern of a gold coin, an always popular subset! Good luck!

The FINEST numerically certified example by either PCGS or NGC. EXCESSIVELY RARE. Much original RED color blazes in the obverse fields with lots of violet-blue-teal iridescent hues on the reverse. The eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 0, NGC 1. We submitted this coin for crossover to PCGS. After reviewing it again, we feel it is a SOLID 66+ RB (we make no guarantees). The Bob Simpson coin is the PCGS PR66 RB. Mr. Simpson paid $23,000 for his coin as a PCGS PR65 RB in January 2008. This coin sold in a notoriously weak 2015 FUN auction for $8,225. Since then the pattern market has perked up with new players having begun very serious collections. The current Collector’s Universe price in 66 is $18,000. We do expect very strong bidding for this SUPERB coin when it crosses the block. PCGS# 71315 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+286

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 582 25C 1871 J-1100. PCGS PR64 RB R-7- (7-12 minted). James Longacre’s Seated Indian Princess design paired with the regular Proof reverse die. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Flashy copper mirrors with much original color beaming, and blending with iridescent violet toning. Sharply struck throughout, the obverse in particular is struck in full medallic relief, standing out in vivid 3-D effect. The eye appeal is delightful. PCGS 2, NGC 0. The two coins have traded a few times over the last 15 years, selling consistently between $3,000 and$3,500, and the current PCGS price is $3,500. As part of a large, diverse cabinet of patterns, we think it will sell toward the high end of that range. PCGS# 71359 | ESTIMATE: $2,700+LOT 583T$1 1873 J-1293. PCGS PR63R-4 (76-200 minted). One of the many pattern trade dollars ofthe year. Barber’s Liberty sits on a globe with a plow behind, abale of hay and wheat. Reverse, standing eagle holding shieldin his talon, arrows in other. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.Reflective, watery fields are aglow under the iridescent gold,lilac, tan, and olive patina. Clearly this coin sat for a long timeunmolested where it could acquire this lovely, original tone.There is only the slightest hint of weakness in the most centralportions of the design, typical of the design.PCGS 10, NGC 5. There has not been a PCGS PR63 example sold in auction since October 2005--nearly 13 yearsago--realizing $4,198. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $5,000. The most recent NGC PR63 sold for $6,600 in January2018. The Trade dollar patterns make a great specialty in the extensive pattern series, perhaps this one will inspire you tofocus on them.PCGS# 61578 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+ LOT 584 50C 1879 J-1601. PCGS PR64 CAC Ex. Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. R-6+ (13-20 minted). George Morgan’s Liberty head on the obverse (similar to the dollar). Reverse: Large perched eagle. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Totally original, old collection toning drapes wonderfully over superb, watery-reflective mirrors. Like the majority of this type we have seen, there is some minor weakness on the central most details. Pale dove, slate, blue, gunmetal, rose, and gold accents in the toning create a great eye appeal.Ex. Edwin J. Mantooth Collection, Heritage, April 2015, lot 5543; Queller-Lemus Collection, Heritage, January 2009, lot 1911; Harry Bass Collection-Part 1, Bowers and Merena, May 1999, lot 1242; Brinton T. Schorer via private sale, May 3, 1973.PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 1. In the May 1999 Bass Auction, this coin sold for $13,800 and in its most recent auction appearance, it realized $10,575. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $15,000. Any Morgan pattern, regardless of grade, is a real numismatic prize and this series makes a great specialty, chock full of beautiful designs and major rarities. PCGS# 61979 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ 287

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 585 $1 1879 J-1616. PCGS PR66 RB R-7- (7-12 minted). George Morgan’s famed Morgan dollar obverse. William Barber’s perched eagle reverse holds olive branch and arrows. E PLURIBUS UNUM above. A beautiful GEM! What a great Morgan dollar pattern, one that is rarely ever offered in such a lofty grade. Mostly brilliant mint RED mirrors beam with ultra deep reflection on both sides. Some violet toning graces areas of both obverse and reverse. Ms. Liberty and all the details are fully frosted and do stand out with a vivid contrast. The eye appeal is exceptional, it is hard to quit staring! PCGS 4, NGC 1. The last PCGS PR66 RB sold in May 1999! Even back then these were selling in the $9,000 to $11,000 range! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $16,500. More recently a PCGS PR65 RB CAC sold for $9,988, and a PCGS PR66 RD sold for $29,900 over 13 years ago! Clearly these are RARELY offered and this GEM will be a centerpiece in any high end pattern collection! PCGS# 71994 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ LOT 586 $1 1879 J-1617. PCGS PR62 R-4 (76-200 minted). William Barber’s coronet head of Liberty. Reverse: Goloid composition in beaded frame within agricultural wreath. GLORIA EST DEO in cartouche above. Struck in goloid with a reeded edge. Goloid was a silver/gold alloy that was developed in an attempt to create a metric based international coinage. Nicely struck devices sit on moderately reflective surfaces. Some light lines account for the grade, but the eye appeal is quite nice for the grade. PCGS 33, NGC 15. The most recent coin to sell was an NGC graded coin, realizing $2,820 in June 2017. PCGS lists a value of $3,000. A great pattern dollar for the beginning collector! PCGS# 61995 | ESTIMATE: $2,400+ LOT 587 $1 1879 J-1618. PCGS PR65 CAC R-5 (31-75 minted). William Barber’s coronet head of Liberty. Reverse: Goloid composition in beaded frame within agricultural wreath. GLORIA EST DEO in cartouche above. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. A lovely GEM example of the Goloid Metric Dollar, this one struck on a regular silver dollar planchet. Part of the same proposal that created the famed $4 Stella, the concept behind these patterns was to create an alloy that would freely circulate in international commerce. Richly toned with lovely palette of pastel iridescent hues, the underlying mirrors flash in a light around boldly defined details. PCGS 4, NGC 2, CAC 3. The last one to sell was in March 2017, a coin that sold for $7,638. Prior to that, the last two PCGS (non-CAC coins sold for $7,474 (2011 and 2005). This CAC-approved GEM will certainly entice strong bidding from the pattern dollar specialists! PCGS# 61996 | ESTIMATE: $5,000+288

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 588 $1 1879 J-1626. PCGS PR63 R-4 (76-200 minted). Metric Pattern dollar. William Barber’s Liberty head, reverse with Goloid Metric composition in circle of stars. Struck in Goloid, with a reeded edge. Flashy, watery mirrors have nice reflection for the modest grade. Pleasing original, mottled toning at the periphery adds to the visual allure. Sharply struck we note some minor lines, but nothing distracting. These Metric Pattern dollars were the silver portion of the international coinage proposal that brought us the Stella and Quintuple Stella rarities.PCGS 29, NGC 12. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,500 and the most recent sold in June 2017 for $2,174, but the presently offered example is much more appealing! This is an historically interesting pattern issue that is a very good entry level pattern. Good luck! PCGS# 62004| ESTIMATE: $2,000+LOT 5895C 1881 J-1671. PCGS PR65R-6+ (13-20 minted). Charles Barber’s Liberty Head obverse,UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around; Large Roman numeral Vin center with open wheat and cotton wreath. Struck in nickelwith a plain edge.A delicate, iridescent toning is seen dusted over the highlyreflective, watery mirrored fields. Even with a strong glass,there are no serious marks or lines, but we do note a few flecksat the lower reverse. Housed in an OGH, this GEM is quitepleasing overall. The 1881 patterns were focused on the smallerdenominations, and Barber’s classic Liberty head nickel design began to take form here.PCGS 1, NGC 3. In a weaker market, March 2015, this coin realized $4,113; prior to that, this coin realized $5,750 in March2005. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,000. A great coin to augment any advanced collection of LibertyHead nickels. We could see this coin in a world class Lib nickel set just as easily as a great collection of patterns.PCGS# 62067 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+ LOT 590 5C 1882 J-1684. PCGS PR63 R-6- (21-30 minted). Charles Barber’s Liberty Head, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around; same die as J-1674 above with E PLURIBUS UNUM above. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Multihued patina is dusted over watery reflective fields. Sharply struck devices really do stand out against the lovely mirrors. The eye appeal quite nice. PCGS 3, NGC 1. The most recent example of this grade sold in October 2014 for $1,998. Prior to that, the last one sold in January 1990! Clearly these don’t appear with any frequency. Collector’s Universe lists a value of $3,200 in 63 and this coin should fit into any advanced Liberty nickel set or any collection of patterns. PCGS# 62089 | ESTIMATE: $1,750+ 289

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 591 5C 1882 J-1689. PCGS PR64 CAC R-7+ (4-6 minted). Barber’s Liberty, IN GOD WE TRUST and Stars around; regular Without CENTS die of 1883. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. One of the FINEST known of this ultra rare Liberty nickel pattern. Sharply struck on both sides the devices seem to float on wonderful rich reflective fields. Only a few hints of contact can be seen, but the surfaces are generally higher quality than the grade might imply. PCGS 1, NGC 3, CAC 2. This coin has never been in auction that we can find in our database. Indeed, the last example to sell was an NGC coin sold in November 2004 ANR for $10,695. PCGS has graded a single coin finer, which also has never sold via auction. The current PCGS Price Guide is $12,000 and if you are an advanced pattern nickel collector, or Liberty Head nickel collector, this coin will fit right at home in your set! This could be a once in a decade + opportunity--do not let it pass you by! PCGS# 62094 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ LOT 592 5C 1882 J-1690. PCGS PR65 R-5 (31-75 minted). A true transitional pattern issue with the adopted design of 1883, but dated 1882. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Lively mirrored fields are flashy and very high end. Some icy blue iridescent toning can be seen on both sides, and the overall eye appeal is quite nice on this GEM. PCGS 9, NGC 3. The last PCGS-graded example sold for $7,475 in March 2012 and there are records as high as $9,775 for an NGC coin. The current PCGS value is listed at $7,250. Worthy of an AMAZING Lib. nickel set or any collection of transitional patterns! Good luck! PCGS# 62095 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ LOT 593 5C 1884 J-1724. PCGS PR66 CAC R-6- (21-30 minted). The Eastman Johnson “Holey” design. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, around circle of 13 stars, 1884 below. Reverse: FIVE CENTS with union shields between words. Octagonal hole with scalloped sides punched in center. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Very sharply struck with bold, watery reflective fields. Delicate pale gold toning is evenly distributed across the high-end surfaces. Very pleasing and a very unique pattern! PCGS 5, NGC 3, CAC 2. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $4,230 in April 2016. Other examples have sold for as much as $5,750 and the current PCGS Price Guide lists a $5,250 value. A very pleasing GEM worthy of a great pattern collection! PCGS# 62154 | ESTIMATE: $3,600+290

THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II LOT 594 5C 1896 J-1771. PCGS PR64 R-6- (21-30 minted). Barber’s Union Shield design with crossed poles with eagle and cap. Reverse 5 CENTS in closed olive branch. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Flashy mirrors have a light dusting of color on the surfaces. Housed in an old green tag holder with a nice eye appeal. PCGS 5, NGC 0. The most recent PCGS-graded example sold back in 2002--may as well be 1992! More recently a PCGS PR63 sold for $2,585 (June 2017) and a PR65 sold inNovember 2008 for $6,038. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,750. A very rare pattern that rarely comes on the market. PCGS# 62225 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+LOT 5955C 1896 J-1772. NGC PF64R-6+ (13-20 minted). Barber’s Union Shield design with crossedpoles with eagle and cap. Reverse 5 CENTS in closed olivebranch. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge.TIED FOR FINEST! Flashy, vibrant mirrors beam from under alight dusting of iridescent white tone, typical of an aluminumpattern striking. Sharply struck and quite attractive.PCGS 3, NGC 5. The last NGC example sold $3,525 in April2016. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $3,150.None are finer and this one should bring a strong price among nickel pattern specialists. Good luck!PCGS# 62226| ESTIMATE: $2,800+ END OF THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION PART II OUR ESTIMATES The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale. We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us.

LOT 596 25C 1863 J-337. PCGS PR65 CAC R-7+ (4-6 minted). A transitional pattern struck from regular issue Proof dies from 1863 and with Motto (post 1866). Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. ULTRA RARE! This impressive beauty is one of only four graded by PCGS. Sharply struck on both sides with a stunning mirrored, watery reflection that is amazing for a coin in this metal. A few ancient planchet flakes (as made) are mostly hidden by a delicate dusting of iridescent toning, but there is no haze, pitting, or corrosion which is often seen on aluminum patterns. A pattern that was sold in sets of off metal impressions to VIPs. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. The current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $10,000. No other examples have ever sold in auction, and likely the ONLY one available on the market for a long time. Civil War date patterns are a great specialty and we can see very strong bidding for this GEM when it crosses the block. PCGS# 60499 | ESTIMATE: $10,000+ LOT 597 H10C 1868 J-638. PCGS PR65 CAC R-6- (31-75 minted). Regular proof die trials struck in nickel with a reeded edge. Totally original, reflective nickel mirrors glitter in the light! They are clear, smooth, and offer a wonderful icy look. Both obverse and reverse are sharply struck up. Struck by mint employees for private sale to contemporary collectors and VIPs, these are indeed quite rare, especially in GEM. PCGS 8, NGC 1, CAC 3. The last one sold in our Regency Auction 26 in the Steven Cook Collection, Part 1 for $2,468 and the current PCGS Price is listed at $3,000. Housed in an old green tag holder. A very appealing coin worthy of any pattern cabinet. PCGS# 60856 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+292

LOT 598 10C 1868 J-647. PCGS PR67 CAC R-6- (21-30 minted). Obverse styled after the large cent of 1853-57. Reverse laurel wreath with TEN CENTS in center. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. SUPERB in EVERY WAY! Soft gold overtones are seen over brilliantly reflective nickel surfaces. Both sides are RAZOR sharp in strike. As expected for the extremely high grade of this GEM, there are no marks, lines, flecks, or spots worthy of mention and the eye appeal is amazing. PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 2. Regardless of what they have brought in auction previously, this REMARKABLE GEM should be worth more. The current CU value is listed at $11,950 and with NONE FINER, it should appeal to any large cent or dime pattern collector. It is a very unique pattern! PCGS# 60865 | ESTIMATE: $11,500+LOT 59925C 1870 J-916. PCGS PR67 CAMCACEX SIMPSON COLLECTION.R-7+ (4-6 minted). Liberty wears a tiarawith no stars. Stuck in aluminum with areeded edge.What an amazing SUPERB GEM!Clearly the FINEST extant example ofthis VERY RARE Judd number!Deep and watery like mirrors beamfrom all over. The mirrors have nooxidation. There is a small area ofroughness in the planchet in the obverse right field (mint made). Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and have thickfrost. The eye appeal is excellent!PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the FINEST J-916 known. In fact, overall in ANY Aluminum Pattern design there are very fewPR67’s. There is a $10,000 Collector’s Universe Value, but of course, NONE have ever sold in auction. Mr. Simpson paid$15,000 for this coin in the 2008 mega Pattern deal. Opportunity knocks loud here!PCGS# 800009 | ESTIMATE: $8,500+ 293

LOT 600 25C 1871 J-1099. PCGS PR66 CAC Ex Samuel Berngard Collection. R-7+ (4-6 minted). Longacre’s Indian Princess obverse paired with a regular issue Proof die. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Among the finest of only five pieces known. This piece offers a boldly reflective and impressive look. The mirrors are watery and flashy, peering out from the rich shades of rose gold, blue, and olive patina. The eye appeal is excellent and totally original. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is a highly desirable obverse type and the present GEM is one of the finest. Last selling over five years ago, you can’t ignore that record. PCGS lists a $13,000 Price Guide value. Seems reasonable to us for a coin of this rarity! PCGS# 61358 | ESTIMATE: $11,000+ LOT 601 50C 1871 J-1114. PCGS PR63 R-7+ (4-6 minted). James Longacre’s Indian Princess design with stars around, paired with a regular issue proof reverse. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Sharply struck and Liberty is in full high relief. The surrounding mirrored fields are watery and smooth with a very pleasing, original patina. Shades of slate, dove, blue, and pearly gold toning blend together. Clearly this coin sat for a long time in an old collection to obtain this great look. What a great design that would have been such an improvement over the Gobrecht Seated Liberty design. PCGS 6, NGC 1. The most recent sold for $7,800 and that was the first example to sell in nearly 12 years! There is likely some duplication in the Population data. While one coin is graded finer at PCGS, it has never sold in auction. The current PCGS value is listed at $20,000. Good luck! PCGS# 800009 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+294

LOT 602$10 1875 J-1444. PCGS PR63 RBR-7- (7-12 minted). Barber’s popular Sailor Head ofLiberty obverse. Reverse perched eagle, similar to the20C piece and trade dollar. Struck in copper with areeded edge.A very attractive and VERY RARE pattern for aproposed design change for the $10. Bold underlyingmirrors show off a rich bronze patina while thesurfaces are toned with a violet-cobalt blend thatis dappled on the generally smooth surfaces. Thedesign elements are very crisply struck and show fulldefinition on both sides. The visual allure is originaland very pleasing. This is a very RARE pattern and veryrarely offered in any grade!PCGS 1, NGC 2. The only example in any grade soldin the last five years was an NGC PR63 RB sold inApril 2018 for $13,200. Collector’s Universe does notlist a value in this grade, but the Judd book, now 10years old, suggests a $12,500 value in PR63. A realprize for the advanced pattern collector--any pattern ofa gold coin is a MAJOR rarity!PCGS# 71752 | ESTIMATE: $13,000+ 295

LOT 603 50C 1877 J-1541. PCGS PR65 BN CAC R-7- (7-12 minted). Both sides were designed by Anthony Paquet. The obverse shows Liberty facing left with her hair in a bun, pushed back with headband with 1 star and LIBERTY. Date below, stars around. Reverse: Heraldic eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge in medal, not coin alignment. A look at the Judd book shows that 1877 saw a storm of proposals to redesign the long running Seated Liberty design. William Barber and George Morgan churned out 21 different designs for the half dollar, including many famous designs that are among the most avidly sought by collectors today. Following those 21 is the present design, perhaps done by contract outside the mint, by Anthony Paquet. The present GEM is one of perhaps three graded in all categories by PCGS. Sharply struck in the even brown copper planchet. What makes this coin unique looking is a satiny, almost matte-like finish to the fields, not the typical mirrored Proof surfaces. The bronzed finish is like medals produced by the mint at the time. What a cool coin! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin has sold in auction three times over the last 17 years, realizing $29,900 in the 2008 FUN auction, prior to its most recent appearance in the 2016 ANA auction. Today, there is a new class of pattern collectors who have NOT seen this major rarity, and it should bring a price more than its 2008 realization. PCGS# 61883 | ESTIMATE: $28,000+296

LOT 60410C 1879 J-1587. PCGS PR66 RB CACWhat a stunning Morgan Pattern struck in copper. Thisis a R-6 (13-31 minted).Sure, we call a lot of coins incredible-but that isbecause they really are. This coin easily makes thatlofty designation.Stunning deep mirrors beam boldly from all over. Themirrors are crisp and clear and are super clean. Whenyou twirl this coin all you see is a fireball of GEM Redflaming. Both sides are a mix of original GEM Mintred/gold/pale violet colors. All of the details are sharplystruck and boldly stand out. The eye appeal isjaw dropping!PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are no auction recordsor even a Collectors Universe Value for this coin. Ourestimate is based on what we have seen similar coinssell for. We can’t stress enough how cheap this coin isrelative to so many things available today (especiallyModern coins)! This will make a fantastic additionto ANY GEM Pattern set. We expect strong biddinghere-be prepared.PCGS# 71964 | ESTIMATE: $12,500+ 297
