Lot Title:
|
1909 NGC PF-65 Cameo.
|
|
Description:
|
Fleeting jagged clouds of almond-bronze tone skitter across the silver-beige obverse, and thin out considerably over the gleaming reverse, which appears to be virtually pristine at first glance. In no way does the toning inhibit appreciation of the astoundingly powerful strike. So strong was the striking pressure that metal was forced up around the extreme rims, creating a pie-crust wire edge almost completely around the obverse. While the cameo effect is gorgeous, astute collectors will be annoyed to find a grader's facial hair lying across the first digit in the date. When... oh... when... will the grading services find a way to keep body parts out of their slabs? (PCGS# 085695)
