1863 50C J-341, BN PR (PCGS#60503)

The Regency Auction 46

详细说明: Ex Eliasberg Collection, as noted on the insert. Tied for FINEST GRADED J-341 with the Bob Simpson Collection coin. Similar to the regular issue 1863 half dollar, but with GOD OUR TRUST in the field above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge, this pattern is considered Rarity-5, and these were struck for sale in sets to collectors. Perhaps two dozen total are known in all grades today. This GEM was described in the May 1996 Eliasberg catalog as being "Mostly golden brown, with blushes of electric blue. Traces of mint red can be seen on the obverse." These gorgeous colors are brought to the fore by a stunning underlying reflective brilliance. The devices are razor sharp in strike and the surfaces are virtually flawless. The eye appeal and provenance are tops! PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 2. There are two in PR66+ BN, the other coin being the Bob Simpson Collection coin, sold in September 2020 for $3,840. This coin is, in our opinion nicer, and should sell for more. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $7,500. A great opportunity for the advanced Liberty Seated collector or a neat Pattern type coin at an introductory price point. Either way, this coin has many levels of interest and demand that will attract spirited bidding! Cert. Number 81891368 PCGS # 60503.00
