Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
536The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$700.00
1888 NGC PF-66 CAMEO.
French Connection Estate. Although much luster pinwheels through the fields, all the devices display more than enough matte frost to command a cameo designation. Combine that with pristine silvery...
325The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$675.00
1888 PCGS PF-66.
Excellent eye-appeal starts with pristine aluminum-grey surfaces and benefits from sizzling luster that is quite unlike the usual proof reflectivity. Razor sharp details, on the other hand, are as...
490The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$500.00
1888 (P03, plate coin) PCGS PF-65 (green label).
1888 P03, Plate coin. Resubmission would likely garner a "CAM" consideration, since the frosty devices contrast well with pristine field mirrors. Trivial flecks of grey and tobacco-tan affect each...
535The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$340.00
1888 PCGS PF-64CAM.
About as fully struck as possible, though it is likely that by the end of the run of three cent nickels, even the proof hubs were worn down beyond their life expectancy. Fields glitter with good...
536The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$525.00
1888 PCGS PF-65.
Shimmering amber-beige surfaces offer a touch of cameo contrast at equal concentration on both sides. Generally pristine except for minute deposits of some sort of waxy residue in the date area.
338The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$700.00
1888 NGC PF-66.
When viewing this piece with a strong glass, the second "8" of the date shows evidence of repunching. Delicate golden nuances enhance this issue's frosty design elements and reflective fields giving...
392The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$700.00
1888 NGC PF-66.
Examination of the coin is inhibited by marks on the certified holder, but this appears to be a lovely type coin with no distractions and nice luster.
328The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$725.00
1888 NGC PF-66* CAMEO.
This simply stunning issue depicts delicate frosty devices that are supported by deeply mirrored surfaces. Hints of golden iridescence, virtually pristine surfaces, and crisp design elements make it...
914The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$360.00
1888 PCGS PF-63.
There is a definite contrast between the reflective fields and more frosty devices. Only a couple of light lines in front of Liberty prevent this coins from grading PF-65.
915The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$550.00
1888 PCGS PF-65.
An astounding Gem example from a recorded mintage of 4,582 issues. An enriching blending of rose and blue copiously bedecks the frosty motifs and velvety fields. A commanding strike for an otherwise...
916The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$550.00
1888 PCGS MS-65.
Highly lustrous and nicely struck. It is quite obvious that this coin has been well preserved since being minted as hardly a mark can be detected.
917The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$700.00
1888 NGC PF-66.
Sky blue and sunset orange gleam from the reflective obverse surfaces, and a more subdued, but equally appealing, rose radiates on the reverse. A light line in front of Liberty's nose appears to be...
1095The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$120.00
1888 MS-63 Scratched.
A small series of scratches just to the right of Liberty will likely prevent NGC or PCGS from grading this otherwise MS-63/64 coin. Solid detail with somewhat reflective surfaces.
1096The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$280.00
1888 NGC PF-64.
Great reflectivity is observed on the obverse, and the devices have a semi-cameo aspect. There is a small toning fleck just to the left of Liberty's nose, but this is still an attractive and solid...
1097The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$465.00
1888 PCGS PF-65.
A magnificent Gem that is delicately toned in shades of rose and blue. Virtually devoid of any blemish, this prominently struck example has an heirloom aspect.
412The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$525.00
1888 PCGS PF-65.
Exquisite frosty design elements complement the reflective fields on this next to last date for this denomination. A scant number of microscopic toning flecks are unobtrusive on this boldly struck...
