Both sides of the Superb Gem Kaufman 1848 proof dollar are awash in a mélange of soft violet, golden-orange, powder-blue, and greenish-gold patination. A powerful strike lends incredible delineation to the design elements, all of which are highlighted by the mirrored fields. Impeccably preserved surfaces, in conjunction with the above outstanding qualities, make for breathtaking eye appeal.
From The Phil Kaufman Collection of Early Proof Sets, Part Four.(Registry values: N14284) (#6989)
