J-0203 1C 1858 PCGS PR-65

This is an R-3 which means it is estimated that 200-500 pieces were minted. So its similar to what a regular 1858 FE in that regard. Still, even in GEM PR 65, this coin is valued at a fraction of what the regular design sells for (approx $20,000.00 w/a pop of 13). We could go on forever about how UNDER priced Patterns like this are.

Both sides shimmer with strong and incredibly flashy mirrors. A few teenie stains and imperfections are visible only w/a strong glass We do NOT think those are rim dents on the rev). This coin is absolutely solid for the grade. The color is a beautiful coppery/lilac/gold. Every detail is frosty and fully struck. This is a wonderful example of a FE design that could have been.
