Lot Description

Of the 136 Proofs produced, perhaps 70-80 survived today in all grades; this CHOICE CAMEO example is a wonderful coin that is a delight to behold! Despite the modest grade, we absolutely love the coin! Deeply beaming mirrors flash off the rich orange/reddish toned surfaces. The devices are RAZOR sharp, and the contrast is eye arresting. There are no serious flaws anywhere worthy of note inspiring a sensational eye appeal. Only 136 Proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 4, CAC 1. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $6,250 and the CAC CPG value is $6,640. We have no doubt that this coin will bring a strong bid. Housed in an older blue tag holder. Cert.
