Today it is one of the finer examples around, with just one example reported finer by NGC. A classic condition rarity and certain to be a major centerpiece of an advanced collection.

The strike is precise as expected, and the high level of preservation speaks for itself at PF66. The Cameo contrast adds to the eye appeal with the boldly mirrored fields which seem to fall away from the frosted surfaces. Scarce and in demand when found this well preserved, this is clearly one of the finer examples around. Only 1,016 struck. Pop 11; 4 finer at NGC for PFCA, 1 in 66 Star, 3 in 67.
