The Regency Auction 28

详细说明: A wonderful brown GEM large-sized Flying Eagle pattern. Struck in a bronze alloy of 91% copper, 8% tin, 1% zinc. This pattern issue is VERY RARE, rated Low R-7 in the 10th Edition of the Judd reference, with 7-12 estimated known. Smooth surfaces show medium chocolate brown color with accents of light gold toward the rims and a dusting of pale blue overtones. The devices are very crisply struck up, which is not often the case. The eye appeal is very high end! PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 2. The most recent example of this Judd number to sell was a PCGS PR63 BN that realized $6,463 in March 2017. Prior to that, in the 2016 FUN auction, a PCGS/CAC coin realized $10,869 and the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $11,500. This is a very rare prize for the advanced Flying Eagle cent collector for less than you would spend for an AU 1856! Seems cheap to us! Cert. Number 1582269-009 PCGS # 11748
