Lot Description

One of the absolute FINEST Proof 1864 Copper-nickel cents that survives, one of only four graded PR67 across all designations! Unbelievably deep, reflective mirrored fields beam boldly all over, clearly the dies were carefully polished prior to striking, as we see a few tiny lint marks on both sides. The devices are sharply struck and richly frosted with a bold contrast that borders on a full CAMEO look. The color and eye appeal is SUPERB in all respects! An important Civil War issue. Only 370 Proofs were struck. PCGS 3, NGC 0, CAC 2. Neither auction appearances of a PR67 were CAC (May 2019 and November 2004). Clearly these are VERY infrequently seen. The sole PR67 CAM never sold in auction. Go with your guts on this one, the published values cannot be accurate! Cert. Number 39536056 PCGS # 2265.00
