Description

1875 Nickel, Untoned PR65 Cameo

1875 5C PR65 Cameo NGC. Deeply mirrored fields encompass frosty devices on each side of this brilliant Gem proof. The contrast generated is unquestionably deserving of the Cameo designation. The surfaces are moderately granular, typical of the issue, while a sharp proof strike and minimal indications of contact heighten the appeal.

Population Data (8/15): NGC reports 15 PR65 Cameo examples and 13 submissions finer, while PCGS has seen 19 coins in PR65 Cameo with 10 finer.

Heritage Commentary: Proofs from this issue (700 pieces struck) are among the most elusive in the series in grades of PR65 and finer.
