 1895 Gem Brilliant Proof. Full frosty cameo reliefs are suspended over the deepest liquid-glass mirror fields for extraordinary beauty and limitless appeal. Here is a magnificent representative of only 81 Proofs struck, certainly one of the finest in existence 111 years after striking. This coin is personalized by Liberty's deep set eye occupying an area of perceptibly deeper frosting that gives the coin a distinctive individuality. The 10-year Dannreuther-Garrett auction listing notes only 10 appearance of this date in Proof, exactly two in Gem.
