Lot 1889
1902. PCGS graded Proof 53. Rich deep reddish-gold toning decorates each side of this lightly circulated proof. Aside from wear and noticeable scuffing in the fields, there are no individually mentionable marks on either side. The warmly toned surfaces have the familiar smooth mirror finish remaining in the more protected areas of the design, while devices are needle-sharp as befits a well-made proof. Mintage was low throughout the period with only 193 proofs struck in 1902. A rare proof example for not a lot more than a Choice BU would cost (PCGS # 7928) .
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500.
