Owner's Comments

EERC (PS), Like the pattern proof strikes of 1858, this example boasts an abundance of die striation impressions, suggesting a very early strike. If "original is best", then this coin is a prize. Toning ranges from absent to golden and orange, leaving reflective mirrors pleasantly intact. Frost in pronounced on the portrait, yet muted elsewhere. Microscopic flyspecks serve to authenticate this coin's pristine nature. Thanks Rick!
