Lot Description

Minimally toned in pale silvery iridescence, this captivating Gem allows ready appreciation of deeply mirrored reflectivity in the fields. Softly frosted in texture and fully impressed, the design elements are set apart with appreciable cameo contrast. Although in Mint State the 1896 is one of the most plentiful issues of this type in today's market, Deep Mirror Prooflike coins constitute only a small percentage of survivors. The present example has the added distinction of virtually pristine surfaces, and it ranks among the finer 1896 dollars known to PCGS and CAC in the DMPL category. Lovely!
