Lot Description

A boldly contrasted near-GEM Cameo Proof. Highly reflective watery fields beam with a strong brilliance. Sharply struck devices are frosted, especially on the reverse, creating a wonderful contrast. A blush of the faintest, clear gold and silvery white patina are seen on the surfaces. The grade is limited by some minor hairlines on the obverse, likely from an old album slide. The eye appeal is decent. PCGS 18, NGC 9. Only 846 Proofs were struck. The most recent example sold in 2017 for $2,160. The current Collectors Universe value is $1,950. A lovely coin for the collector. Cert. Number 40949944 PCGS # 86546.00
