1866 Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Red and Brown. The Proofs were all struck with the same pair of dies for this year, with a small mintage of 725 pieces. The present coin retains lovely mint color with the usual light wood grain toning starting to form. Well contrasted and preserved with just a hint of specks on the obverse, which may be removable. A scarce and desirable coin to represent this early Proof issue.
