Lot 335
1863. PCGS graded Proof 66. CAC. PQ. Lovely blue and green toning on both sides of this most regal and splendid gem proof. The surfaces exhibit glorious antique shades with fiery accents blazing forth from the fields near the devices. The perfectly mirrored fields show a high degree of reflectivity, while the devices are softly satin in their texture. Remarkably free of any surface issues and this is clearly one of the finer examples known from a tiny original mintage, struck during the depths of the Civil War. It is extraordinary that any such coin survived in such superlative condition to today. The holder is slightly scratched. Only 460 struck. Pop 9; 1 finer in 66+. (PCGS # 7006) Estimated Value $17,000 - UP
