The Regency Auction 46

详细说明: Ex Simpson Collection. The FINEST KNOWN example of this Rarity-7- Longacre Indian Princess design. This is one of the greatest of all the Pattern designs with Lady Liberty dressed as an Indian Princess sitting on a globe with flags behind and holding a pole with a Liberty cap on top. Paired with the regular issue reverse die. Struck in silver with a plain edge. James Longacre created the design before his death in 1869, and William Barber then implemented the design following Longacre's death. There are about 10 examples thought to exist in all grades, NONE FINER than the presently offered example. Remarkable depth of strike, the obverse is struck in high relief, almost medallic in nature. They stand out in full 3-D contrast to the fields. The fields offer a wonderful, flashy watery reflection. Deeply toned in azure and verdant tones with golden accents throughout, giving this shimmering reflective GEM the look of a mountain lake. The eye appeal is absolutely STUNNING. PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. We think this coin is both the PCGS and NGC coins. This is the second example we have offered, the first being the very similar looking Eliasberg PCGS PR65 CAC that brought $29,375 in our July 2014 Regency Auction. In PR66, the Collectors Universe value is listed at $35,000. We think this coin is very special and any advanced Pattern collector will appreciate its rarity, beauty, and pedigree. Good luck. Cert.
