Description

Notable PR66 Cameo 1858 Cent
Small Letters Obverse

1858 1C Small Letters PR66 Cameo NGC. Snow-PR2. A Small Letters obverse paired with a Low Leaves reverse; Snow describes the main reverse diagnostic as a "[d]iagonal die line in denticles below the right ribbon end." This is plain on the present piece once one knows where to look. This is a remarkable Premium Gem specimen that makes a wonderful first impression. Bright lemon-gold and orange fields show subtle blue-green accents, and the mildly frosted devices stand out from the mirrors. On closer inspection, a few tiny flyspecks (such as the one below the claw) and contact marks are visible, but their influence on the eye appeal is minimal. NGC has graded just two PR66 Cameo examples of the Small Letters variety with none finer in the contrast category (11/09).
