A lovely coin that has good claims to Gem status. The central devices on both sides are fully frosty and largely untoned. The fields are bright and show full deep mirrors in the light.

A gorgeous two-tone cameo Proof with toning and eye appeal to match the 1897 in the preceding lot. These lovely coins were all carefully preserved from the time they were purchased.
