Lot Description

One of the finest graded by PCGS, and no doubt one of the very finest known, the current Population Report shows just 3 graded as PR-66, and we don't know if any of the others are a "Cameo" or not. The surfaces are pristine, without the usual signs of handling or annoying hairlines that diminish the value, and close examination will find only faint evidence of these. Beautiful orange gold in color, with perfectly struck devices and each is fully frosted, providing spectacular cameo qualities. Only 142 were struck, and this coin is clearly one of the very best. <BR>Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.
