Lot Description

This wonderfully original specimen is dressed in dominant olive-gray patina that lightens to pewter gray in and around the central obverse. Iridescent undertones of pinkish-apricot and powder blue are also present to further enhance the eye appeal, especially when the surfaces are tilted into direct lighting. Sharply struck and crisp with some semblance of contrast discernible between semi-reflective fields and satiny motifs. Survivors of this key date, Proof-only, twenty-cent issue are scarce relative to numismatic demand, especially in grades above Proof-64, as here.
