Lot 1411
1856. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Lovely blue and lilac toning spans both the obverse and revese of this amazing coin. First off, only 50 pieces are believe to have been minted. From that modest beginning there arearound 35 known today. This is one of the finer examples seen, and one of just a handful that offer the Cameo contrast between the mirror fields and frosted devices. The strike is absolute and precise, with all of the finer nuances of the design crystal clear when examined. The surfaces are also incredible in their preservation, with no distracting nicks or handling marks, and the toning is stunning to see. All Proof 1856 dimes have the Small Date, and these Proofs are all rare and desirable, especially this well preserved. Pop 5; 1 finer in 68.
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
