The Regency Auction 26

详细说明: The FINEST KNOWN example of this very rare R-7+ Standard Silver Pattern. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. There were many varieties of Standard Silver coins produced between 1869 and 1871 in various different metals and with differing designs. This variety has a capped bust of Liberty facing right with three stars on the band. The reverse wreath is made of one branch each of laurel and oak. This simple design looks fantastic on the highly reflective and contrasted aluminum planchet. Indeed, the coin is blinding when viewed under a light. Most of these off metal strikings were produced as parts of special sets made for VIP clients at the mint to a very limited extent. Untoned and only the slightest bit of haze, but never dipped or conserved. As pretty today as the moment it was carefully removed from the dies. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the finest example known, and sold in our Regency XI Auction as lot 347 for $7,931. In January 2016’s Regency Auction XX, the Bob Simpson example, graded PR65 CAC sold for $7,931. Anyone building a collection of Standard Silver patterns should really take a good, hard look at this one and plan to bid liberally. Cert. Number 25678567 PCGS # 800067
