Lot 1650
1879. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. An extremely rare Proof issue, with a mintage of just 30 pieces, only 3 of which have been graded as Proof 65 or higher by both services, making this one of the better survivors of the year. Delightful orange-peel fields appear when viewed with a glass, and the frosted devices create the desired "cameo" appearance. In the fields there are some stray lines, but as with virtually all Proof gold, any handling will appear in the fields, and somehow over the last 120 years somebody out there will have handled every coin to one extent or another. An exciting opportunity to purchase a very rare early Proof gold coin in wonderful condition.
