Description

NGC 1863 MS 65. With only 18,000 business strikes produced, collector demand has always been strong for this date, and gem examples are, of course, avidly sought out. This is a fascinating coin that exhibits thick, coruscating mint frost that rolls around the surfaces as it is slowly rotated beneath a light. This is somewhat surprising because the toning is extraordinarily deep and one might imagine that the forest-green and golden-rose coloration would subdue the lustrous sheen, but not so. A gem with strong visual impact, and one of 12 coins to have been so graded by NGC (4/94) with 14 finer.
