This is the only pattern I own, secured from the rock star we formerly knew as Broadst--k after five years of pleading with him to sell me this coin; it's PCGS PR64RB, mostly light brown with red reverse toning at this point but with intact mirrors and unstripped surfaces.

To quote the "Gambler" on Storage Wars, "This is the wow factor!" Beautiful piece.

I had this pattern too, but decided it didn't fit in my collection.

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
The one percent silver (AG) is unusual, but is probably not significant.

I am aware of no more than about five that have tested positive for silver, with the largest proportion being 2.1%. In my opinion, this is significant. Unfortunately, as we speak, I may be the only one who does think that.

RKKay, Do you think that due to the silver content these should have an alternative Judd number assigned

That's a great question. I have tested so many coins that have such a wide range of compositions that, in my opinion, there should be at least one or two new Judd numbers created. However, that is not my call. It comes down to people with a lot more experience with patterns than I do, such as Andy, Julian, Saul etc. Just as an example, I have tested coins with a range of 93% copper, 7% nickel and 86% copper, 14% nickel. Arguably, those two coins should not be the same. On the other hand, where do you draw the line? I have tested coins everywhere in that range. One added argument for the silver ones is that it is a brand-new element that is added. One just sold the other day in a Stack's auction with 2.1% silver. One could ask how a coin without much silver could NOT deserve a new Judd number. What about the one coin I have tested so far which had .4% gold?

I always loved the larger size of these, the eagle was so cool and different versus the small cent size.
Great addition. Congratulations.
