Description
1878 8TF PR 60. Hazy toning appears over the bright surfaces of this rare proof. A thin scratch runs across Liberty's cheek. This piece matches the diagnostics of the Breen 5500 dies for the proof issues: blunt beak on the reverse and the IN touches the eagle's wing. Estimates of the mintage of this issue range from 250 and up, although the mintage is listed as 500 in theGuide Book. Wayne Miller noted in 1982 that he had seen only 30 pieces in fifteen years. Thus, this date ranks as one of the rarest proofs in the series, a fact not yet recognized by the major price guides.
