Closed 3 Three Cent Nickel PR64. Ice-blue and honey-gold illuminates this suitably struck and unmarked near-Gem. A charming example in a grade that provides excellent value.

Arrows Half Dollar PR63 Cameo. A good strike with only minor blending on the eagle's left (facing) ankle. The lightly frosted devices contrast with the slightly subdued fields. Just 550 proofs were struck, and only 1,250 proofs were issued for the entire two-year subtype.

Seated Dollar PR64 Cameo. Medium apricot-gold and apple-green adorns this nicely struck near-Gem. IN GOD WE is moderately die doubled.

Trade Dollar PR63 Cameo. Icy motifs provide good contrast with the minimally toned and glassy fields. The strike is precise save for blending on the eagle's right (facing) leg.
