Description

1870 H10C PR66 PCGS. Magnificent peach-orange, rose, violet, ice-blue, and sea-green patina blankets the obverse. The reverse is much lighter in shade with delicate orange and lavender toning over the wreath and borders, while the center remains largely brilliant. The fields are deeply mirrored, generating moderate contrast on the obverse and a bold cameo effect on the reverse. The 1870 1,000-proof mintage is tied for the highest production with the 1860 and 1861 issues. Many of the earlier proofs from that period were melted, making the 1870 the most available of the three dates and one of the most collectible proof issues in the entire series.
Purchased from Rare Coins of New Hampshire (12/2001); Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part IV (Heritage, 10/2015), lot 98209, where it realized $1,410.
