The Regency Auction 45

详细说明: THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART II Ex Lemus Collection, as noted on the insert. One of the "transitional" patterns struck dated 1861 to 1865 featuring a regular Proof obverse die, paired with a reverse that bears the motto GOD OUR TRUST in the field above the eagle. This is likely the FINEST KNOWN of this Rarity-7- issue, struck in copper with a reeded edge. A glorious SUPERB GEM! Ultra smooth mirrors in the fields are a brick red with violet, teal and blue overtones. The flash is nearly blinding and the contrast between the razor sharp devices and the liquid mercury like fields is bold. The definition looks like a medal, not a coin. WOW! The surfaces are essentially without flaw and even with a powerful glass, we cannot find any thing to point out as having an impact on the OUTSTANDING eye appeal.
