Lot Description

The Crimson Collection. Mintage: 550. 7 graded PR-66, zero higher at NGC (and PCGS). Steely gunmetal hue races over the obverse but takes on varying chartreuse and magenta hues depending on viewing angle. The reverse is flat-out gorgeous as it incorporates album toning -- chartreuse-silver surrounding rings of magenta, ocean-blue and cinnamon-rose in a generally concentric pattern. Nicely frosted motifs contrast well with the gleaming fields but could not entice any designation from NGC.
