Lot Description

Gorgeous violet and steel blue toning spans both the obverse and reverse of this stunning proof. Free of specks or spots of any consequence, with rich satin frost on the devices which contrasts with the super fresh mirror fields. Only six or so are known of this Standard Silver variety. Struck in copper, with Miss Liberty wearing a plain ribbon in her hair. The reverse die was slightly rotated about ten degrees counterclockwise. The reverse has an open laurel and oak wreath, with 10 CENTS at the center with the date below and STANDARD SILVER surrounding above. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. This same coin realized $2,760.00 (4/12) at auction, but since that time it has been submitted and approved at CAC. A rare and desirable pattern issue! This coin is being sold with no reserve.
