A trophy coin perhaps for USA pattern collectors. Priced beyond my interest level.  Thank you for sharing the link.  |

Wicked cool Pattern!  Although, I can't afford it. Errers and Varietys.

This is a great piece..... Im fortunate to own a Pattern Indian Head cent struck in aluminum.....these are all very rare! I have been watching this auction as a spectator (not planning on bidding at this price point). This coin previously sold in 2020 for $21,600. |

$19250 with the buyers fee. Getting close to the last sale price. I'm thinking it goes over the last sold price.

It's now above the $20K mark....still room to go up. I'll take a stab at the hammer....
Somewhere around $26K with the premium.

The bidding here went absolutely insane. Sold for $38,250, consignor must be elated in this one! Here is my aluminum example. 1863w/L in PF63+. This is one of only 3 traced (might be a 4th out there). I'm considering selling it after seeing this sale!   |
