An attractive and lustrous example of this Feuchtwanger die variety that is called R.5 by Rulau. One of the few examples available in Mint State - a prize for the specialist.
"Virtually Uncirculated with great luster. Of the less than a dozen known, this is the Finest Known Specimen of this popular design. (A gold specimen is worth several hundreds of thousands). Ex: Bass "
"Unlike later issues, this is believed to be a die trial Pattern from discarded original dies. Quite attractive with only very light scratches not readily apparent to the naked eye. 5.6gr, Ex:Stacks `67, Clifford "
A lovely chocolate specimen. UNIQUE double struck variety. This will be a plate coin in the second edition of Private Gold Patterns of the United States. A great rarity for the specialist.
Die Trial. Honey gold with deep orange highlights. Typical weakness on eagle's breast and a few marks, but otherwise an asthetically lovely and dramatic specimen of this popular design. Just 5 specimens known (and just 2 extant gold specimens). A great opportunity to own this rarity!
Quite similar to the SF State of California issues, but only known in this denomination and metal. Probably made in England for sale in America(the engraver's initials, W.J.T is believed to stand for British engraver William J. Taylor) All four known specimens are struck from rusted dies which could mean the dies were laid away for a dozen years or a bit corroded before they were used. Long part of pioneer gold collections, this coin's pedigree can be traced to 145 years ago! Ex:McCoy 1864, Grandberg, Boyd, Farouk, `57 NN, Clifford . The Kagin Plate coin.
Deep olive gold with some prooflike surfaces. A few scatered marks but appears to be much nicer than the certified grade. Extremely Rare with only two known gold coins for the entire issue and three patterns! If you want a Blake & Co. coin (ingots bring over $200,000) this is it since another copper specimen sold over a year ago for almost $100k. Ex: McCabe 1905, Brand
Planchet lines resulting in begin called improperly cleaned. Extremely RareThick Planchet (3mm) variety. R-8-just 3 known. A great opportunity for the specialist.
An incredibly dramatic Jefferson Nickel error that is so deep that it would not fit into an old-style slab. Fortunately, NGC has developed holders that will accommodate thicker coins, such as this one.
