Lot 901

1880. Proof 60. Cleaned to an unnatural brightness, with resulting hairlines as all too often seen.
Estimated Value $700-800.

Lot 908
1881. Proof 63. A rather pleasing proof specimen with excellent contrast between the brilliant fields and frosted devices. The fields are void of hairlines to the naked eye and a light film of russet tone is starting to form.
Estimated Value $1,300-1,600.

Lot 909
1882. Sharpness of VF-30. Cleaned to death, what a shame! Here is a coin that is begging to be toned. In spite of its grade, a very collectible date due to its proof-only status.
Estimated Value $400-500.

Lot 910
