Lot 3957
1898. PCGS graded Proof 65. Only 165 were coined in Proof, of which PCGS has graded 10 as gems in this grade, with 20 graded higher. In the late 1890s, the quality of proof coinage is simply superb. For example, this coin has full frost on the devices, and is perfectly struck. The fields seem deeper than usual, with reflective mirroring that expands the contrast. This is not the Trompeter coin, and it can possibly be traced by a small tick near the middle arrow point in the field, and a minor copper spot above the stop after AMERICA.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000.
