Lot Description

Collectors who prefer universally brilliant-finish Proofs, as well as those who miss out on the Gem Cameo example in the preceding lot, will find much to admire in this current offering for the key date 1877 twenty-cent piece. It is for a handsome and fully original specimen dressed in blended pearl gray and pinkish-apricot iridescence. Direct lighting calls forth nice reflectivity from the fields, the design elements more satiny in texture and fully defined throughout. No troublesome hairlines marks or other blemishes are seen to challenge the coveted Proof-66 grade from PCGS. This is an attractive and highly desirable specimen that will surely see strong bidding.
