Description

1884 MS 65. A one-sided proof, with a deeply mirrored obverse and an absolutely satiny reverse which has no trace of reflectivity whatsoever. This is a most unusual coin that must have been one of the first business strikes from this obverse die. We have read and heard stories of regular business strikes appearing in original proof sets of the 1800s, and perhaps this is just such a coin. The obverse is a hazy, milky white, while the reverse is untoned except for a touch of golden color on the left side.
