FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II A lovely GEM "annular" perforated cent. Struck in billon, an alloy of copper and silver, this specific coin states ONE TENTH SILVER on the lower obverse. Considered to be low Rarity-6, perhaps as many as 30 were struck, and today less than 15 are graded by PCGS in all grades, this one tied for FINEST. This pattern was struck as part of a series of experiments to reduce the size of the copper large cent. Satiny lustrous surfaces glow from below a layer of original and very pleasing multicolored patina. The eye appeal is great. Housed in an old green tag holder, this GEM is also endorsed by Eagle Eye. Ex. Heritage, January 2008, lot 3535; Hoosier Flyer Collection, Stack's Bowers, August 2012, lot 11200. PCGS 5, NGC 1, CAC 3. Off the market for nearly a decade, this GEM sold for $2,585 in August 2012 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,500. Cert. Number 3079048 PCGS # 11543
