Lot 1081
1862. NGC graded Proof 65. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Style Holder. Sparkling surfaces with lovely almost lilac tan patina giving way to a more crimson gold on the obverse at right and central reverse. The 1862 is one of the important and underrated early copper-nickel Proof pieces struck, of which far fewer are known today than the mintage would suggest. Pop 78; 34 finer, 30 in 66, 4 in 67. Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600
