CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 7:11 pm PCGS - It's hard to beat the Seated Liberty design of the 1875 Twenty Cent, but this Sailor Head Pattern would certainly be a strong contender. The present piece is graded PCGS PR65 CAM. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 10:46 pm Fabulous pattern, undisturbed except for the toning. It seems that this coin has been in a coin cabinet for many decades, and the resins or glues in the wood have toned the surface to what we now see. At least, I don't see any cabinet friction, as many highly valuable coins in the British Museum appear to suffer from. That is why so many modern collector silver coins are encapsulated or are in slabs. Would it have a higher value, had it been blast white? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree with GrapeCollects: - The reverse looks too European 'minor coin' in style, at a time when the United States was making a strenuous effort politically, to be *different* from Europe.

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 11/08/2019 09:16 am That is a gorgeous coin and would be wonderful to own. How much has it gone for in the past? Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 11/08/2019 09:55 am Prethen, it's never been offered as far as I can tell. A PF64CA sold for 10.7k$ 2 years ago. So probably $18k is a fair value Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 11/08/2019 10:49 pm According to my 7th edition U.S. Patterns, Experimental and Trial Pieces by Kosoff, a Reed/Garrett one sold for $17.500 in March of 1980. If that's any indicator. Nice selection for posting. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff
