 1874 Arrows. Very Choice Brilliant Proof despite fingerprint pattern toning in the right obverse field. In fact, were it not for the fingerprint, we would be very tempted to call this coin a full Gem. Glittering field radiance augments deeply frosted legends and design features. A shade of violet toning completes either side.
Although Briggs reports that two reverse dies were used to strike Proofs of this date, all three of the pieces offered here are from the same reverse die; that being the die of 1872 with the die scratch at the left border of the shield.
