Description

NGC 1857 PR 64. An unknown, but small, number of proofs were struck in 1857. The following year proof coinage was produced in larger numbers for commercial distribution, but in '57 mintages were still tiny. Blythe estimates that perhaps 16-20 pieces exist, and this is undoubtedly one of the finest examples known of this rare date. This is a glass-smooth, deeply reflective piece that displays dramatic deep blue and golden-rose toning over both sides. A coin as beautiful as it is rare, this important piece would be considered as upper-end by anyone and lays strong claims to gem status. Population: 4 in 64, 3 finer.
