Lot 1568
1880. PCGS graded Proof 67 Cameo. CAC Approved. An impressive Gem Cameo Proof. The fully brilliant devices and fields are in bold contrast to each other, and this snow-white appearance serves to highlight the cameo effect. A needle-sharp strike is displayed overall including the often-weak stars and Liberty's head. While 1,987 examples of this proof-only date were struck -- the largest proof mintage of the design type by a substantial margin -- relatively few remaining examples can match the quality offered here. No marks can be discerned by the naked eye, and low magnification reveals much the same scenario, revealing a coin that is ever so close to physical and aesthetic perfection. This example is certain to elicit strong bidding activity when it crosses the auction block. Pop 9; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 87060) .
Estimated Value $30,000 - 32,000.
