The Regency Auction 38

详细说明: This pattern dollar boasts one of this cataloger's favorite designs: James Longacre's seated Indian Princess. Liberty wearing a feathered headdress sits, supporting a globe, showing the North and South American landmass, a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY across. She holds a pole with a Liberty Cap, and two flags behind. Thirteen stars around, date below. The reverse is the standard Seated Liberty With Motto reverse. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Longacre's design is struck in stark, high relief, its devices in full 3D against the smoothness of the surrounding fields. Flashing coppery surfaces give this coin the look of a bronzed medal struck during this time at the mint. Pleasingly toned with deep olive-brown surfaces that have accents of pale blue, lilac, and iridescence. A few ancient flecks are seen identifying this GEM as the ex. Jones Beach coin. PCGS 0, NGC 1. This coin last sold in auction in the 2007 FUN auction, realizing $6,900. Since then, an NGC PR66 BN sold for $13,800 in August 2010. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $11,000 and the 10th edition of Judd lists a value of $14,000. This is an exceptionally well designed pattern dollar and very popular as such. We expect strong bidding for sure! Cert. Number 331390-001 PCGS # 61410.00
