Description
NGC 1859 PR 65. V-4. A newly discovered variety for this year, the date shows strong repunching on the bottom of all the digits, probably a very early die state of V-1 or V-3. A magnificent, deeply toned, example of this scarce proof date. 1858 was the second year the mint produced proofs in quantities large enough to distribute to the collecting public. They overproduced, however, striking 800 pieces. Of that number a great many were melted as unsold at year's end. Today probably some 60-75 proofs survive of Anthony Paquet's hollow star design. Generously toned in deep shadings of deep blue and scarlet red, the fields are brightly reflective, and there are no obvious impairments on the surfaces. Population: 20 in 65, 5 finer (4/94).
