718 1873 Closed 3. 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.
