The Regency Auction 38

Lot Description: What a STUNNING black and white Ultra Cameo contrasted GEM Proof Seated dollar! This coin has incredible mirrors and the devices stand out in stark, dramatic fashion against the mirrored back drop of the fields. Blazing, deep beaming mirrors offer the utmost reflection in the fields. A strong glass reveals a few minor lines, but nothing singularly distracting. The well defined devices have a thick, frosty white finish that provides an exceptional contrast. The eye appeal is truly wonderful. Only 800 Proofs were struck. PCGS 0, NGC 1. Off the market for nine years, this coin last sold for $16,100 in the 2011 Central States auction. Unpriced in Collectors Universe (and other price guides), in CAMEO, this coin has a Collectors Universe value of $24,000. At the end of the day, our estimate will likely prove conservative. Good luck, Cert. Number 508488-006 PCGS # 97002.00
