 1859 Proof-63 (NGC). Repunched 1 in date. Gunmetal-blue and gray toning with some flecks. Sharp design details. This particular 1859 Philadelphia issue is unique in that the figure of Liberty is slightly restyled, said to have been by Anthony C. Paquet, with slightly slimmer arms and a few other distinctions best observed under magnification.
