Lot Description

This coin is a story of two sides. The obverse is brilliant and blast silver white with a bold contrast between the deep mirrors and frosty white reliefs of the portrait. The reverse is draped in a multi-hued iridescent tone, that is totally enlivened by a watery mirrored reflectivity. The eagle is very sharply struck and frosty. Struck during a time when the mint was extra careful with the production of proofs, allowing for high end cameo proofs. Only 735 were struck. PCGS 15, NGC 24, CAC 12. There are four PCGS PR67+ CAMs and two at NGC. None of the PCGS have ever sold in auction. A PR67 CAM PCGS/CAC sold for $4,935 in July 2017 and a non-CAC PCGS PR68 CAM sold for $8,813 in January 2016. Since none have sold, the CU value is listed at only $6,000. We can see this one selling for more than that! Cert. Number 81604072 PCGS # 85684
