FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. What a gorgeous coin! The quality is unquestionably SUPER HIGH END. WOW! The classic draped bust design by Christian Gobrecht with a perched eagle on the reverse was created during the transition from the Capped Bust Reeded Edge type to the Seated Liberty design, and it is one of our favorites! Too bad this design was never adopted. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, this is a Rarity-5 pattern, with 31-75 struck. Outstanding mirrors are deep, have crystal clear clarity, are clean, and have intense reflectivity. Only a few wispy light die polishing lines can be seen with a strong glass. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors have that deeper "watery" like roll. The rims have a deeper mix of reddish gold/pale blue while the centers are a pale gold/silvery mix. The contrast is bold. This coin has never been dipped or messed with. Miss Liberty and the details are needle sharp in strike and have thick frost. The eye appeal really is so spectacular we can't put this coin down! Struck from rotated dies, this coin is aligned in medal, as opposed to coin turn. Ex A. James Evans Collection, Part II, Heritage, January 2015, lot 4491. PCGS 4, NGC 2 CAC 1. This coin was graded before PCGS split off the CAM designated coins with PCGS # 390800. Tied with the Simpson coin (NOT CAC) for FINEST in the CAM designation. That coin brought $16,800 in February 2021. This coin brought $12,925 in 2015. We can't stress enough the rarity and beauty of this piece. Think about how much a regular 1838 Half would cost in PR66 CAM, at least $250,000 probably! So how is the Collector Universe value only $15,000 for this rarity? That is so low! Even if you are not a Pattern collector, you would enjoy owning this SUPERB GEM piece. It is our strong opinion Patterns like this are so UNDER valued. Good luck! Cert. Number 21746049 PCGS # 11282
