1878 PCGS PF-64RB. 1878 PCGS PF-64RB.
Lot Title: 1878 PCGS PF-64RB.
Description: Easily far more red than brown, despite the "RB" color designation, and furthermore, the obverse features significant cameo contrast. Splashes of electric magenta-blue readily illuminate the reverse and appear to limited and subtle extent on the obverse. Technical grade consideration probably takes into account some distantly scattered carbon spots and tiny planchet flecks on each side, but from arm's length, this coin has nice surface quality.
Low Estimate: $300.00
