The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II Ex H.W. Bass, Jr. Collection, as noted on the insert. The FINEST example of this Longacre pattern cent. Sharing nearly the exact design of the then current 3CN, just struck on a more narrow nickel planchet. Rated as a Rarity-5. This Judd number was struck using a few different pairs of dies, each with minute differences. This one is P-741. This is the FINEST certified J-666. Deep, blazingly reflective mirrors contrast boldly against the thickly frosted devices. both sides show a gentle dusting of iridescent toning and the surfaces are sleek and smooth, free of any mishandling. The reverse has some minor planchet issues, as made, and it does not impact the awesome visual allure. Ex Julian Leidman, by private sale, September 1971; Harry Bass Collection; Bowers & Merena's sale of the Bass Collection, Part I, May 1999, lot 1017; Stack's Bowers, March 2011, lot 6027. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin realized $8,050 back in 2011. Over a decade later, the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,500. This is the FINEST and a popular issue, worthy of a very strong bid. Good luck. Cert. Number 19172498 PCGS # 860890
