Lot 698
1881. NGC graded Proof 68 Cameo. A fully white Gem Proof Cameo. Only 3,575 struck. The surfaces are bright with moon-glow white luster and show none of the muting often seen on this denomination where the hard metals caused insufficient strikes, even on some of the Proofs. Such, then, for luster. Turning to the other key factor, a coin that is desirable with this meticulous strike on Liberty's hair and coronet beads, the wreath and the vertical lines in the Roman III. Superb! Pop 8; 2 finer in 68 Star.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,300.
