Description

1875 5C PR66 Cameo NGC. This is a simply gorgeous proof. The fields are glassy, and the devices are frosty with razor sharp striking definition. The outward appearance is one of untoned brilliance, but pale pastel iridescence is evident at certain angles in shades of apricot and powder-blue colors. A tiny carbon fleck in the reverse field before the U in UNITED is the only noticeable surface blemish.
From the Genaitis Collection of 1875 Coinage.
