A perplexing issue that is considered a pattern in brass by some, and an off-metal striking by others. The Standard Catalog of World Coins considers it a pattern, and until recently, PCGS has certified this type with the SP designation (as the coin seen here), suggesting they did as well. Currently, PCGS now assigns the MS designation to the type. Despite varying classifications and designations seen, this type remains incredibly elusive, especially is elevated states as seen here.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
