Lot Title:
|
1886 PCGS PF-66 CAM.
|

A faint, yellowish cast that is concentrated mainly on the rims represents the only hint of tone, though most collectors will view this as a pure white coin. As demanded of a VERY GEM grade, hairlines are essentially absent from both sides, with the grade determined by minor disturbances in the obverse right field, and a brief scratch above Liberty's head. (PCGS# 085587)
