Lot 1482
1856. NGC graded Proof 66. Only 25 are believed to have been minted. However, later research is beginningto question this number as it appears that more than that number are known today. What is becoming clearer is that a photographic record is essential for tracking coins like this, so that over a few generations, the true number of those that exist can more accurately determined. Boldly struck and amazingly well preserved, with light blue toning on both sides. The fields are free of any distracting contact marks, as are the frosted devices. In short, this coin is stunning, both in quality as well as the eye appeal for the toning. An extremely challenging issue to find at all, with such a tiny mintage and the number known today Pop 2; none finer at NGC .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000.
