FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. Ex Bass/ANA Museum Collection, as noted on the insert. A stunning GEM CAMEO Proof 20C pattern, featuring J.A. Bailly's Seated Liberty design. Liberty sits facing left, holding a pole surmounted by a liberty cap. She supports a globe and is flanked by wheat, tobacco, and bales of cotton. The reverse is as adopted in 1875 for the regular issue 20C piece. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. Considered to be a Rarity-7+, with 4-6 struck. One look and you know this is a very special pattern. It is as GEM ORIGINAL as you will ever see for an aluminum patter. The mirrors are deep, clean, and have powerful reflectivity. There is a slight natural frost in the fields-as struck. There are NO spots. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and boldly stand out. The eye appeal is memorable! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. The most recent example of this VERY RARE J-1356 was the E. Horatio Morgan coin (ex Bowers & Merena September 1988), a first generation PCGS encapsulated example without CAC approval brought $15,600 in the 2019 ANA auction (that coin had some minor environmental issues, typical of aluminum planchets). This high end GEM has only been offered once since Harry Bass bought it in 1974! Do not miss this opportunity! Ex Numismatics, Ltd, August 1974; Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection; Harry Bass Educational Foundation's ANA Museum Display; Heritage, August 2014, lot 5816; Legend Numismatics; our consignor. Cert. Number 25259692 PCGS # 596213
