Lot Description

NGC actually had the backbone to provide a "cameo" designation, something the services are wont to ignore for strongly toned proof coins, especially of this era. The fields are obviously highly reflective despite the rather deep sienna-purple and cobalt colors. Excellent eye-appeal simply accepts these advantages and benefits also from preservation that seems to have kept away any stray or excessive hairlines.
