Lot Description

Tied for second HIGHEST graded at PCGS, there are just three examples graded finer, all at the PR68 CAM level. This is a gorgeous example! The technical quality is all there, and the visual allure is spectacular. Incredible, watery mirrored fields are icy smooth and impeccably sleek and flawless. The reflection really comes out in a strong, flashy mode when rotated in a light. The underlying brilliance enhances the rich, iridescent toning that covers both sides. Shades of blue, rose, silver, gold, russet, tan, and olive all meld together over the incredibly flawless surfaces. The devices are crisply defined and have a thick frosty texture, creating a bold CAMEO contrast. The eye appeal is spectacular! PCGS 8, NGC 23, CAC 3. Only 972 Proofs were struck. There are three graded PR67+ CAM at PCGS and just three PR68 CAMs graded higher. This is the most recent PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction, realizing $28,800 in the 2018 FUN auction. Prior to that, one sold in April 2013 for $44,063. NONE of the PR68s have sold in auction, making this one of the FINEST examples available to collectors. Do not let this important opportunity pass you by! We expect that in this market, the Collectors Universe value of $35,000 will prove low when the hammer falls. Good luck. Cert.
