1892 Eagle, Modestly Contrasted PR55

1892 $10 PR55 PCGS. The Guide Book reports a proof mintage of 72 pieces, but perhaps only half of that number have survived. The richly patinated orange-gold surfaces of this PR55 example display modest field-motif contrast when the coin is tilted under a light source. Moreover, its design elements are crisply defined. Scattered light marks attest to a period of brief circulation. Population: 2 in 55, 14 finer (12/13).
