Description
PCGS 1836 Reeded Edge PR 63. Deeply toned in golden-brown colors on the obverse; the reverse is mostly lilac, with an area of olive color in the field above and to the right of the eagle's head and near the right wing tip. Breen estimates a population of "at least 12 proofs" and lists eight different examples. The impressive coin in the Garrett sale later brought $29,000 in Auction '80. This is a classic rarity in the series and one of the first proofs to be struck using the new steam presses installed at the Mint in 1836. These new presses allowed for the use of closed collar and made the production of consistently higher quality proofs a realistic goal.
