Lot Description

A.C.E. Collection. The CAC gold sticker suggests the coin could grade a point higher, and the cataloger disagrees. It should not only upgrade, but earn a "cameo" designation as well! Blatant ice-to-black contrast is plainly evident from any viewing angle, no matter how the third-party grading services feel about toning on a proof coin. Speaking of which, this is a sensational proof example, endowed with absolutely dazzling crystal-bright flash surrounded by a flamboyant array of cinnamon-magenta, cobalt, and lavender-orange hues. Extremely faint hairlines do dance within the fields but neither side displays any contact remotely worth noting.
