Eagle. 1862. Proof 60 plus. A dazzeling cameo proof specimen with full mirror fields against frosty devices. Some faint hairlines can be seen under magnification when held under a Halogen light. Some cloudiness appears around the surfaces, possibly the result of being wiped with a jewler's cloth (a common practice years ago). Only 35 made, all February 16. We believe 10 to 12 survive and perhaps this is a liberal estimate.
