 1870 Gem Brilliant Proof. A needle-sharp strike is seen in Liberty's fully detailed face and hands, the eagle's feathers and shield. Intermingled iridescent blue and rich rose toning contribute wonderful color to the flashing mirror fields and crisply defined reliefs. One of 1,000 Proofs struck, and certainly among the finest existing today. Locating a finer specimen might well prove impossible.
