Lot Description

An exciting offering for Proof gold type collectors, this lot features a fully struck, appreciably reflective 1898 two-and-a-half with strong eye appeal for the assigned grade. Largely free of all but faint, wispy handling marks, a touch of glossiness and some haziness to the surfaces also help to explain the Proof-61 numeric grade from NGC. From a mintage of 165 Proofs, and scarce in an absolute sense.
