Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1862. PCGS graded Proof 64. A lightly toned proof with nicely reflective fields and a full strike throughout. Minor hairlines are visible in the obverse and reverse fields, these being the grade-limiting factors. For identification, a dark spot is seen at the right base of the 2 in the date. A Civil War issue with a mintage of only 550 pieces. Relatively available as a near-Gem, but rare any higher. Liberty is quite frosty, and the eye appeal of this coin is exceptional for the grade. Pop 47; 18 finer (PCGS # 6416) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600.
