1897. PCGS graded
Proof 64 Premium Quality. One of the finest graded of this date in Proof,
we note that the fields show magnificent orange peel texture which was
absolutely perfected during the years 1870 to about 1900. This particular coin
boasts well frosted devices with a touch of haze in the fields on both sides.
Philadelphia coined just 86 pieces in proof, as demand was just not that
strong, and few collectors could afford to order a coin that cost so much in
face value, let alone pay a small premium. The fields show a few minor
hairlines, as seen on virtually every proof gold coin to some degree.
Identifiable by a small lint mark below the right side of the N in UNITED, and
in PCGS holder #6582614. PCGS has graded only 10 this high (some are Deep
Cameos which are included), and 3 higher.
Estimated Value $25,000-UP.
