 1894 Hints of repunching are visible within the triangle of the 4 in the date, as seen on some proofs of this issue. Very Choice Brilliant Proof and far superior to the typical proof survivor. Frosted legends and devices float in delicate golden, watery-mirrored fields. The surfaces are free of any imperfections that require particular note, as a glass is necessary to distinguish any minor shortcomings. One of only 972 such Proofs minted of this date.
Ex George F. Scanlon Collection (Stack's, October 24-27, 1973, lot 1564).
