1873 Choice Brilliant Proof. Exceptional cameo contrast causes frosty devices to float on deep-mirror fields of exceptional visual quality, all framed by gold-toned squared rims. A couple of diagnostic die file lines can be found in the drapery above Liberty's ankle. One of 865 struck, die rust on Liberty's arm suggests the final 65 Proofs delivered in the last quarter of the year.
