Lot Description

Sharply impressed with full squared rims and strong details. The mirror fields glitter and contrast nicely with frosted central design elements. Light golden-blue toning attests to this coin’s careful long-term storage. Most proof coinage in the 1850's and 1860's is scarce, including the 1862 of which 550 were produced. PCGS 14, NGC 9, CAC 4. PCGS has graded only a single PR64+CAM. Only 22 have been graded higher. PCGS price guide lists value as $4,000. A PCGS PR64CAM CAC appeared at auction in January 2014 and sold for $4,348. A rare opportunity for the Seated Liberty and Civil War specialist. Cert. Number 34108854 PCGS # 86416
