FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II One of the most popular and glorious of all the pattern designs ever produced is the Society or Wash Lady type created in 1879 by Charles Barber. Liberty faces left with her long locks neatly put up in a bun, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. Reverse has E PLURIBUS UNUM in a small frame above the denomination in a beaded circle in a wreath. Struck in copper with a reeded edge, this popular issue is considered to be High Rarity-6+. Among popular subsets within the extensive realm of pattern coin collecting, famous types is among the most eagerly started among collectors, and this one, the famous Wash Lady certainly is one of those. Easily among the FINEST graded, this is a sensational example, lovingly cared for since it was created. Every detail is sharply executed. A strong reflection glows from the fields, highlighting the brilliant red in the centers and deepening violet toward the periphery. The eye appeal is stunning. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is not the one that sold in the 2007 FUN auction, the most recent appearance of a J-1585 in this grade. It could be the Tree Many Feathers Collection coin (Bowers & Merena, November 2001, but it is hard to tell from the image). The Bass-Simpson coin is graded PR66 RD, but is not CAC approved, sold in January 2021 for $13,200. In PR66 RB the PCGS Price Guide value is $14,500 and we think this beautiful coin will sell for more than the Simpson coin. A great coin for the collector who demands the best in their patterns.
