(About The Images)
1879 PF-55. 1879 PF-55.
Lot Title: 1879 PF-55.
Description: A Proof-only issue that is deeply shaded in exquisite mauve tones bedecking its surfaces that are more reflective on the reverse. This desirable date has only 1,541 recorded as being struck. Some stray marks are camouflaged by the splendid hues on this specimen displaying prominent design detailing.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $850.00
High Estimate: $1,000.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $975.00

1879 NGC PF-65 CAMEO.
