Lot Description

Even close examination fails to reveal any trace of toning or patina on either side, leaving the surfaces exceptional and ice-white throughout. Smooth and carefully preserved overall, there is sharp cameo contrast between the fields and devices. One of the very few overdates known on a Proof issue of any denomination, adding considerably to the desirability of this issue. The grade is unsurpassable in the PCGS Cameo category, the eye appeal simply outstanding. A numismatic feast for the eyes.
