1872 Gem Brilliant Proof. There is a trivial speck or two, otherwise the surface quality of this pale golden example approaches perfection. Needle-sharp, frosty devices float in smooth satin-mirror fields. Full Gem examples such as the coin offered here certainly warrant a premium, as the surviving population of this date within the grade range in question is only a fraction of that of any common date.
