Lot 718
1909. NGC graded Proof 68. Fully white gem proof. Only 4,763 struck. The nickel-bright luster on both sides is full with a beautiful mirror sparkle. This is a decidedly well-struck Proof with crisp details, unlike most circulation strikes made on the mint’s high-speed presses. It of course has no bothersome abrasions or points of wear, as is often the case with lesser quality, slightly mishandled Proof specimens; nor did the dies leave behind anything except a rigid impression of razor-sharpness in the centers. The centers and stars, legends and wreath are fully defined. Spectacular quality. Condition Census. Pop 8; 1 finer in 68 Star. Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000.
