The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II Ex H.W. Bass Collection, as noted on the insert. An incredible GEM example of this pattern Shield nickel. Essentially the same design as current, except the ball at the base of the shield has been removed. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge, this is a very rare example, listed as Rarity-7-. A truly exceptional GEM. Sparkling and bright for an aluminum pattern and one of the few that offers incredible cameo contrast. Only six or so are known of this issue and gems like this never go out of style. This is the regular die for production but the planchet used is aluminum. Free of any specks or tin pest, which can mar these delicate coins. The eye appeal is amazing. Ex Harry X. Boosel "1873" Collection, RARCOA, April 1972, lot 1179; Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection; Bowers & Merena's sale of the Bass Collection, Part I, May 1999, lot 1061; ANR's July 2003 Classics Sale, lot 1013; ANR's Frog Run Farm Collection Sale, November 2004, lot 16; intermediaries; Regency Auction XIV, Legend Rare Coin Auctions, October 2015, lot 354. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin sold for $5,405 in its most recent appearance, the market for patterns is stronger today. The PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,500. Housed in an older blue tag holder, this coin has the non-CAM PCGS # 62101 on the label. We expect this GEM to sell for a very strong bid when it crosses the block. Good luck! Cert.
