Mint red fading to bluish steel brown with half the original red
color remaining, mostly on the obverse. The obverse is a remarkable
gem, virtually flawless. The reverse is not quite as nice because of
a small swipe of darker brown toning at ICA, and there are minute
specks of crud in protected areas of the stain. The only other flaw
is microscopic lamination down from the right base of E in CENT, as
struck. The fields are nicely reflective with deep mirrors that
offer outstanding eye appeal. A great cent and a solid gem except
for the small stain. Finest by a small margin of only 6 known, and
one of those is housed in the Smithsonian. Called Proof-64 and
finest known by a small margin in the Del Bland and Denis Loring
census lists. Our grade is Proof-63+, CC#1 by a small margin
in the Grellman census. The attribution and Dan Holmes provenance
are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only Proof
Red & Brown example graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #1862
(PCGS # 400586) . |
