Description

1872 PR 66. A visual stunner. Both sides are toned in a deep, iridescent blend of violet, steel-blue and burnt-gold pastels that are totally original and incredibly awesome. In the centers a small window is opened in the toning to give the viewer an idea of the impressive quality of the underlying surfaces and to show the heavy frosting on the central devices. This coin represents that rare, special combination of quality and superb eye appeal that occurs so infrequently. When it does, record prices are often set. This coin hails from the Faraday collection, evidence once again of Mr. Faraday's impeccable taste in numismatics. Originally purchased from Jack Boozer all the way back in 1966 for the then princely sum of $135.
