Lot Description

Crazy Animal Collection. Mintage: 900. 1 graded PR-65+ "star" cameo, 9 higher at NGC. Type II / II. Gorgeous, glassy smooth and bright as can be, a narrow band of cobalt-blue and magenta encircles both sides and provides a gorgeous frame for the presentation. Intricately defined and showing prominent frost upon the devices, there is no mistaking the cameo contrast, which likely borders upon UCAM contrast on the basis of NGC's "star" assessment. Trivial hairlines pop into view under some lighting angles, but detract not in the slightest. Die rust on the upper knee is characteristic of this proof die pairing.
