Lot Description

A supremely deep mirrored GEM. Bright silver centers yield to classic bands of rainbow iridescent toning toward the rims, the reverse being a bit more dramatic than the obverse. The sharply struck devices are wonderfully frosted and create an electrifying contrast with the ULTRA deep mirrors. A few stray hairlines are all that keep this beautiful gem from a higher grade. Only 600 proofs were struck. PCGS 1, NGC 0. Only one PCGS coin is graded higher, a PR66 DCAM that has not been in auction since 2003. A PCGS PR65 CAM sold in May 2013 for $7,638. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $7,250. This coin has such a great look we would not be surprised if it brought a record price. PCGS # 96431 Cert. Number 83541207 PCGS # 96431
