Lot 775
1865. PCGS graded Proof 66 Cameo. Only 500 minted. Blast white obverse while the reverse has radiant gold, lavender and blue peripheral toning. Sleek white in color on the obverse with a good dollop of color on the reverse. A touch of weakness is seen at Liberty or the eagle on many 19th century Proof Seated Liberties of this decade, but here it is probably that the dies were spaced at just the right distance apart to insure strong metal flow in all areas. The designs are very strong for the date. Pop 7; 2 finer, 1 in 66+, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 86419) .
Estimated Value $25,000 - 28,000.
