 1859 Very Choice Brilliant Proof, close to the Gem category. Gleaming fields and boldest devices boast deep steely toning with an undercurrent of pleasing rose-gold and a tantalizing hint of sea-green at the peripheries. One of 800 Proofs struck and an unusually high grade example among the smaller number of surviving examples.
Ex Stack's December 1998 Sale, lot 1324.
