Lot Description

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III A stunning CAMEO GEM! Extremely bold and deep mirrors beam from all over the fields. Essentially untoned, the fields show a few very minor hairlines, which are common on the delicate mirrored finish but are taken into consideration in the assigned grade. Perhaps dipped ages ago, there is a blush of soft gold at the extreme peripheral devices. The strike is bold and the contrast wonderful imparting a cool Cameo eye appeal. Only 1000 Proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 0. The most recent non-CAC sale from November 2018 brought $4,140, with a PCGS Price Guide of $5,500. Just a single PR66 CAM is graded finer at PCGS in the designation, this is an extremely important opportunity for the collector who demands condition census Cameo Proof Seated halves. Cert.
