GEM BR PF |
$8,500.00

Pale gold covers this reflective Pattern, struck in a size slightly smaller than the Flying Eagle that was actually coined for circulation in 1857. The obverse presents a dignified Liberty head in a circle of 13 stars, the head essentially identical to the James B. Longacre design that would grace the 1865 Nickel Three Cents. This reverse was created in 1853 when serious efforts were first... more |

Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Here is a fascinating Brass-yellow Pattern without the designer's initial 'L,' struck in an experimental alloy of 90% Copper and 10% Aluminum.

|
GEM BR PF |
$18,000.00
|
Deep Cameo contrast of frosty white devices and deeply gleaming mirror fields makes this a breath-taking example of a stately design. Here is William Barber's elegant version of a seated Liberty shown hiding the U.S. shield behind her right knee and a minute ribbon inscribed LIBERTY. The reverse identifies the pattern with the abortive lighter-weight STANDARD Silver coinage that was proposed... more |

Struck from the Closed 3 dies of the final date of Silver Trime coinage.
