1865 25C J-425 PR (PCGS#60610)

The Regency Auction 26

详细说明: FROM THE STEVEN COOK COLLECTION OF PATTERNS, PART 1. R-6+ (13-20 minted). A transitional pattern using the regular proof obverse die matched with a With Motto proof reverse of 1866-1891. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Deep, beaming mirrors (especially on the reverse) provide a bold contrast to the frosted reliefs. All of the details are fully rendered and razor sharp. A pewter/dove overtone graces the obverse, while the reverse is awash in gold and azure hues. There has been much discussion as to when these transitional patterns were struck and whether they are true patterns or were produced later on for sale to collectors. Regardless, they have long been a part of the pattern series. The J-425, addtionally, as it is struck in silver with a reeded edge, could be a great addition to an advanced proof Seated Liberty quarter collection. PCGS 1, NGC 1. This coin does not appear on the NGC Census, but clearly it exists. It is ex Queller/Lemus, but more recently sold for $7,050. There is a PCGS PR65 that last sold in May 1999. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $9,000. Bound for an advanced collection! Cert. Number 3124022-018 PCGS # 60610
