 1915 Gem Brilliant Proof and a simply stunning specimen. Frosty legends and devices are afloat in glassy-mirrored fields of utmost beauty. The surface quality is absolutely outstanding, and the coloration is lovely. Emerald, mauve-gold, and pale blue iridescence adorns both the obverse and reverse peripheries. A mere 450 Proofs were coined of this date, the survivors of which enjoy an inordinately high level of demand due to the distinct rarity of Mint State circulation strikes.
Ex James A. Stack Collection (Stack's, March 13, 1975, lot 644).
