Lot 1544
1865. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. A mostly white and stunning example of this scarce proof issue of which only 500 pieces were minted. 1865 marks the final year of the No Motto type, and a Civil War Era piece in addition. The fields are fully reflective and have a "black-ice" look against the satiny obverse portrait. Every detail is razor sharp and immaculate. Just a hint of natural patina is beginning to accumulate at the border regions. This is an exemplary specimen for the advanced collector. Pop 20; 8 finer (PCGS # 87008) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
