Lot 1263
1936 Satin. NGC graded Proof 67 PQ. CAC Approved. Well struck and near perfect. A satiny, delightful untoned example, the reverse shows the same careful preservation and absence of spots as the obverse. Crisply struck and problem-free. When Proof coinage resumed in 1936, the first cents and nickels produced had a satin finish. This differed from the previous matte or brilliant finishes, but it was a short-lived test. Like the matte finish coins from the teens, these show extreme sharpness, with detail only visible on a Proof. Pop 129; 23 finer in 68.
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.
