Lot 565		1854. Pattern Large Cent. Judd-160. Copper, plain edge. Rarity-4. NGC graded Proof 65. Brown. A beautiful coin with the clean obverse design of the head of Liberty, without stars surrounding, and the date below. The reverse has a delicate wreath with smaller letter punches used. An excellent ensemble. Seldom found better, and rarely found this nice. View details	Unsold
Lot 566		1859 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd 240, Rarity 4, Copper. PCGS graded Proof 65 RB. A most attractive gem example of Longacre's beautiful Liberty design obverse combined with his "cereal wreath" reverse.

Lot 568		1860 Transitional Half Dime. Judd 267, Silver, Rarity 4 (100 minted). PCGS graded MS-64. A very choice example of this highly collectible Transitional issue.

The unbroken lustre is satiny and overlaid with light violet, deepening to the outside borders. This little treasure should attract considerable bidder interest. View details	Unsold

Lot 574		1869 Pattern Quarter. Judd 733, Silver. NGC graded Proof 66. Part of the popular Standard Silver series issued to replace the Franctional Currency then in use. These designs were made by William Barber and J. B. Longacre and were slightly smaller in size and lighter in weight than the regular United States coins of equal denomination. A stunning gem example with deep natural violet iridescent toning on both sides. Population of only one and none higher. View details	Unsold
Lot 575		1869 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd 752, Rarity 6, Aluminum. NGC graded Proof 67. A perfectly executed example and absolutely pristine in every way; ie, strike, color, brilliance. As of cataloging, PCGS has graded 4 examples (All Proof-64) and NGC just this one. We are probably quite safe in calling this the finest to exist. View details	Unsold
Lot 576		1870. Pattern Quarter Dollar, Judd-879. Standard Silver. Copper, plain edge. Rarity-6. NGC graded Proof 66. Brown. Clearly the Finest Known of this issue as neither PCGS nor NGC has graded any J-879s above Proof 65 aside from this coin. Deeply toned with dark chocolate fields that show some hints of rose on the devices. Pristine surfaces, without a mark to be found, and very sharply, almost painfully, well struck. Worthy of the finest Pattern collection. View details	Unsold
Lot 577		1870 Pattern Quarter. Judd 879. Rarity 6. Copper. NGC graded Proof 65. RB. A mere 2 have been graded, none higher. View details	Unsold
Lot 578		1873 Pattern Trade Dollar. Judd 1322, Rarity 5, Silver. NGC graded Proof 66. An exquisite gem example of this beautiful design; a combination of the regular adopted obverse with a small eagle reverse. This stunning coin has impressive iridescent violet toning evenly dispersed across the surfaces of both sides. Although NGC has graded a total of 15, this stands at the pinnacle as the highest graded to date. View details	Unsold
Lot 579		1875 Pattern 20-Cent Piece. Jud 1407. Silver. Rarity 6. Proof 63. The regular obverse die was combined with Barber's concept of a more commerical reverse. Very attractive with light violet in the center radiating to electric blue at the borders. View details	Realized $2,750
