1860 Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Cameo central design features are framed by deep blue and mauve peripheral toning, with hazy shades of gray and russet to the centers. The surfaces are clean and show minimal signs of hairlines or contact. Identifiable by a tiny planchet void on Liberty's neck and another left of the rock. The strike is a touch weak on a couple of the stars on the left side, which lack their full radial centers. A lovely coin for the surfaces and toning, and rare with a reported net mintage of 527 pieces.
