Lot 1075
1875. NGC graded Proof 65 Red. Only 700+ Proofs minted. One of the few coins of this year where a high quality PR65RD is almost unobtainable. This coin is high end for the grade with frosted devices, spotless surfaces and moderate mirrors, as is typical for this issue. This is a very tough date in gem full red.
This is a year where the production of Proofs was not given the quality control seen in other years. Every denomination in the Proof set is hard to find in the higher grades due to this decline in quality standards. For years they were unknown in PR65RD. A few are now graded, but it is perhaps because a few original Proof sets were broken up and sold as individual coins. Pop 7; none finer at NGC .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200.
