1890. NGC graded Proof 65 PQ. Housed in an Old Holder. Only 590 Proofs struck. Lovely blue and lilac toning on both sides. As with most others of this year in Proof, the mirror luster radiates on both sides. Additionally, this date is almost always found fully struck. The centers pack full detail into the design from a decidedly precision strike. While all stars, hair detail, and eagle's head and body detail are similar bold. Proofs were almost always struck twice using the Mint's more burly medal press instead of a regular coining press, to impart their design features in bold relief. And it shows here! Pop 31; 26 finer .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600.
