Lot Description

Attractive golden-tinged surfaces with nicely frosted devices and well mirrored, contrasting fields. A pleasing example from an era in which some Proofs were casually made and may exhibit striking problems, as large-denomination silver Proofs like half dollars were only struck once on a screw press. The offered coin is a noteworthy exception with all features razor sharp and the overall detail full. An expertly produced, carefully preserved condition rarity that will delight even the most discerning numismatist.
