Lot Description

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III A bold, watery reflective example of this popular Civil War era Proof. The fields are flashy and have wonderfully deep mirrors. The devices are razor sharp and have a nice frost though not thick enough for a full cameo designation. The eye appeal is excellent for the grade despite some minor lines and ancient toning dots. Only 550 Proofs were struck. PCGS 49, NGC 61. The last non-CAC example sold back in June 2017 for $2,233 and the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,500. Scarce in GEM and RARE finer. This one belongs in a neat Civil War set. Cert. Number 36467085 PCGS # 6416
