Lot 1316
1863. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. A dazzling golden gem with exquisite cameo devices. Only 50 Proofs struck. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, in their book entitled Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, 1795-1933, estimate that less than one-half of the reported mintage of 50 coins is still known. The major grading services have certified roughly 25 pieces, but this certainly includes some return visits. This gorgeous Proof 67 Cameo, the finest seen by either NGC or PCGS, exhibits fabulous contrast, that takes on a decisive gold-on-black appearance when it is viewed from directly overhead. Lovely orange-gold color display crisply struck motifs, and are devoid of significant marks. Pop 1; the finest graded (PCGS # 87613) .
Estimated Value $30,000 - 35,000.
