Description

  • silver
A one-sided prooflike specimen, the reverse deeply so, with full cameo contrast; the surfaces highlight the scattered scuffs; the obverse with a rich, more satin-like lustre, and some light marks. Both the obverse and reverse with peripheral toning and overall a very pale golden tone. The prooflike character of the coin’s reverse is consistent with Wayne Miller’s observations about 1887-S specimens from the mid-1970s Redfield hoard.
