Description du lot

This enchanting specimen is drenched in vivid, blended patina of cobalt blue, deep rose, charcoal-olive and reddish-gold. Well mirrored in finish with full striking detail and silky smooth surfaces. Walter Breen listed this particular variety of the issue as an overdate in his 1988 <em>Encyclopedia</em>, in which he credited the discovery to Don Taxay ca. 1962. More recent research by Kevin Flynn, however, suggests that the final digit in the date is repunched, hence the 1869/'8' designation on the PCGS holder. A scarce variety in either case, and a particularly rare find for the specialist at the PCGS/CAC Proof-66 level.
