Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $250.00 A near-Gem that has a couple of tiny spots, otherwise this coin would be a full Gem. Well struck with nice cameo contrast. 719 1873 Closed 3. Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $170.00 Another. A nice cameo coin displaying some spots that prevent us from calling this coin a full Gem. Pale steel-gray toning over well struck surfaces. 720 1873 Closed 3. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $250.00 A third. Steel gray toning over nearly mark-free surfaces. There is some minor freckling present but it does not detract that much from the eye appeal. 721 1873 Closed 3. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $150.00 A fourth. Lustrous, well struck and lightly cleaned. 722 1874 Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $350.00 Gleaming silver is especially bold on the lightly frosted devices. One of 700 struck. A glass finds two obverse freckles which are without visual importance. PCGS PR64. 723 1882 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $525.00 Emphatic cartwheel silver lustre shows a whisper of diffuse gold on this virtually full Gem example of a key date, one of 22,200 business strikes produced. Here is an ideal specimen for any high-quality collection. PCGS MS64. 724 1883 Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $340.00 Splendid mirror fields are complemented by subtly frosted devices boasting total detail. This is a critical date from any perspective, boasting 6,609 Proofs, 4,000 business strikes. PCGS PR64. 725 1883 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $300.00 Another. Light gold over mainly silver and gray surfaces. Well struck with some very minor freckling present. 726 1886 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $220.00 Pale gray toning over surfaces that have some obverse spots. The strike is crisp and the surfaces are nearly mark-free. 727 1886 Brilliant Proof BR PF $150.00 Another. Glittering, iridescent Proof surfaces are of a measurably high quality, but long time storage in a paper envelope has ''burned'' some olive toning into the obverse surfaces. Here is a candidate for some serious conservation. 728 1887/6 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $350.00 Light iridescent toning over mainly gray surfaces. Sharply struck. An unfinished area on the reverse above the Roman Numerals. 729 1888 Brilliant Proof BR PF $150.00 A sharp strike and Proof surfaces lie beneath a hazy layer of toning and spotting, especially on the obverse. 730 1889 Brilliant Proof BR PF $175.00 Glittering Proof surfaces lie beneath a layer of hazy toning and spots of corrosion at the rims and obverse center.
