1882 NGC PF-66 CAMEO (CAC). 1882 NGC PF-66 CAMEO (CAC).
Lot Title: 1882 NGC PF-66 CAMEO (CAC).
Description: Impeccable manufacture and subsequent careful preservation yield a cameo proof three-cent nickel that is an absolute jewel to behold. Glittering fields display pristine reflectivity and scarcely the slightest distraction on the obverse, though a few flecks of pewter-grey carbon can be seen in the right reverse field. Ivory-white devices are struck with extreme precision and are nicely frosted, prompting the outstanding proof contrast. Attesting to the extraordinarily sharp strike is a hint of knifelike rim surrounding the obverse -- a hallmark of tremendous striking pressure. Fabulous coin!
Low Estimate: $725.00

532The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$400.00
1882 NGC PF-65.
Gus Johnson Proof Collection. Beautiful quicksilver surfaces could not look more pure for a proof nickel coin of the late 19th century, and some cameo contrast only enhances the eye-appeal. A faint...
334The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$725.00
1882 PCGS PF-66CAM.
Impeccable, pristine surfaces glow with silvery brightness, enhanced by opulent, deeply swooping luster that flows through the fields. Cameo contrast amplifies the appeal of the obverse, though the...
320The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$600.00
1882 PCGS PF-65 (rattler) CAC.
A swirling, lustrous proof, the obverse offers tinges of apricot-gold over platinum-grey, while the reverse exhibits a near-stunning flare of brilliant yellow gold that seems to emanate from behind...
972The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$220.00
1882 (B05, plate coin) ANACS AU-50.
A rose blush hugs this example's silver-grey surfaces. Minuscule corrosion specks are sprinkled randomly with their presence being more dominant on the reverse than the obverse. This "thin 2" style...
973The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$300.00
1882 (B06, plate coin) SEGS AU-58.
Much scarcer as a circulation strike, and correctly attributed as such by SEGS. On top of that, the proffered AU-58 grade is pinpoint accurate, with the coin actually having most all the eye-appeal...
974The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$370.00
1882 NGC MS-63.
The obverse is clearly much nicer than MS-63, even with a layer of mild almond-grey haze visible for the entire coin. A single delicate scratch on the reverse appears to be the factor which limits...
975The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$475.00
1882 (B07b, stage E, plate coin) PCGS MS-64.
All the makings of a gem include gleaming steely brilliance and a decent strike, and really only a few contact marks can be found on either side. Some light staining is noted beneath "STA", and a...
468The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$425.00
1882 (P02b, plate coin) NGC PF-65.
1882 P02b, Plate coin. Aesthetic character is generally superior to the PF-65 grade, except that several small corrosion spots have developed, mostly on the reverse. Conservation is recommended. ...
469The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$575.00
1882 NGC PF-66.
Immensely attractive arctic ice-blue and chilly cobalt-grey patina bathes the obverse in frigid wintry colors, while the reverse is much more climatologically friendly, draped in warmer golden-grey...
470The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$550.00
1882 (P02a, plate coin) PCGS PF-66.
1888 P02a, Plate coin. Sparking, pristine surfaces permit lovely brilliance to emanate from the fields, and the devices provide elegant, though minimal cameo effect. A die crack is noted on the...
471The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$750.00
1882 PCGS PF-66CAM CAC.
The obverse may be fully DCAM, while the reverse possesses not quite as much dramatic contrast. Nonetheless, the stunning overall presentation is near that of a black-and-white jewel, and almost any...
354The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$425.00
1882 NGC PF-65.
Generally pristine, although relentless examination will determine that the left side of the obverse displays a touch of apricot patina and a tiny greyish stain on the far left rim. The reverse is...
528The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$725.00
1882 NGC PF-66.
Like many (if not most) of the proof three-cent nickels of 1882, a small die crack appears on the reverse at 9:00. The graphite-lilac devices set apart nicely from the nearly mirrored burgundy-tan...
566The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$600.00
1882 NGC PF-66.
An outrageously beautiful obverse is paired with a more mundane reverse to produce a coin that would serve brilliantly for type purposes. Liberty's portrait floats placidly upon a completely...
478The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$575.00
1882 Proof three-cent nickel, PCGS PR-65 CAMEO
Undeniably prominent contrast clearly qualifies for the "cameo" designation provided by PCGS, and the fields provide a nice backdrop of glassy silver mirrors. Devoid of any obvious grade limiting...
479The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$700.00
1882 Proof three-cent nickel, PCGS PR-66 CAMEO
Many proof coins from this series display indifferent contrast even with a "cameo" designation, but this visually arresting example is the happy exception. Thick, richly textured mint frost furnishes...
328The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$270.00
1882 PF-63.
Enough obverse contrast probably qualifies for a Cameo designation, but the reverse appears to be a near-miss for the qualifier. An attractive coin whose only downfall is a little bit of hairline...
384The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$850.00
1882 NGC PF-67.
A mere 28,400 pieces were struck this year, with 3,100 examples being Proof issues. Opulent frosted devices are supported by virtually fleck-free fields. The design devices and inscriptions are...
