Lot Description

THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION, PART IV An outstanding PREMIUM GEM Cameo Proof. Deeply reflective mirrors and richly frosted devices have a bold black and white contrast; it is so strong that some might consider this a DCAM rather than CAM. A stray line or tick can be found with effort, though the fields are generally PRISTINE. There is a blush of toning at the rims particularly on the reverse. The eye appeal is wonderful. Only 800 Proofs were struck. PCGS 10, NGC 11. The most recent example brought $4,320 in March 2021. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $7,000. There are just four finer at PCGS in the CAM designation. Extremely RARE in DCAM, this beautiful coin has a lot to offer. Cert. Number 27402271 PCGS # 86439
