 1860 Very Choice Brilliant Proof, and on the cusp of a Gem grade. Toned with rich russet-gold on both sides, with the mirror fields well preserved. Starting to tone with hints of iridescent blue at the rims. Strong eye appeal for the surface quality and toning. One of just 1,000 struck in Proof.
Ex Norweb Collection (Bowers and Merena, November 1988, lot 3187); purchased by Alfred Fairchild Holden from the Wilson Collection Sale, 1908.
