 1899 Gem Brilliant Proof. Frosty devices give a lovely cameo contrast against icy smooth fields. The rich honey gold surfaces are pristine and highly reflective. The strike is incredibly bold, as should be expected of a Proof. All of these characteristics come together for superb eye appeal. Proof gold coins are among the most cherished of all numismatic items and an example of this caliber is sure to illicit spirited bidding. One of a mere 86 coins minted!
From the Lawrence C. Licht Collection.
