Lot Description

From the Midwest Collection. Ex Col. Green- Eric Newman Collections. An incredible, SUPERB CAMEO GEM that ranks among the absolute FINEST graded at either service. Here is a coin that has an impressive look. Deep, intense mirrors beam with a bold clarity. Both sides look like a perfectly polished piece of glass! Ms. Liberty and all the details are razor sharp in strike and are fully frosted, standing out with exceptional contrast from the icy, beaming mirrors. The obverse has a bold crescent of azure toning that adds a vivid touch of color. The eye appeal is amazing! Only 800 Proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 3. This is the ONLY 66+ CAM graded by either service, and NGC and PCGS have only each graded one coin finer. This coin has only had three owners in nearly a century, and it has been nearly five years since the last time it sold, realizing $18,213 in November 2013. What a great coin for any advanced collector! Cert. Number 2037663047 PCGS # 86413
