Lot Title:
|
1877 PCGS PF-63.
|
|
Description:
|
Modest reflectivity may be the result of imperfect storage, as minor pest spots can be seen on the obverse, scattered mostly outside the boundary of the shield. However, some cameo frost is evident on the devices, producing a little desirable contrast. As is typical of this proof-only issue, the level of detail is not as precise as that attained for other dates in the series, but that takes nothing away from the desirability of this coveted issue.
