Lot Title:
|
1884 NGC PF-66 RD.
|
|
Description:
|
Luster percolates through the glowing ember-red fields and accentuates the sharpness of central devices, especially the reverse which shows unusually strong delineation within the leaves of the wreath. These proof dies were a little aged and definitely would not produce much cameo effect, as can be seen by reflectivity visible in the lowest relief areas. Closer examination shows that there is some nice aqua-green and salmon iridescence gleefully playing around the devices. (PCGS# 002341)
