Lot 1106
1872. NGC graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. About 50% red. Medium mirrors. Housed in an Old Style Holder. Only 950 struck. Pop 44; 9 finer in 66.
The 1872 Proof issue was struck in about the same quantities as the other dates in the early 1870's, but for some reason, are much scarcer than other dates in gem full red grades. Most of the encountered examples are some shade of red brown, as here with about half the origiinal red color present. There is strong additional date demand for this issue due to the rarity of the non-Proof format issues. Estimated Value $800 - 900
