.
PCGS graded Proof 67 Cameo
. This glittering
Gem is bright and essentially untoned overall. The original
finish is readily appreciable at all angles, but not even close
inspection calls forth a grade-limiting blemish. A subtle
diagonal toning streak is noted at the right portion of the
reverse. This sparkling example is worthy of the most
advanced collection and features high eye appeal and out-
standing quality. Just 886 proofs were coined for collectors
in 1886.
Pop 1; none finer at PCGS.

1207
1886
.
PCGS graded Proof 65
. A nicely toned Gem Proof
example featuring some colorful sky-blue and golden toning
over each side. Some weakness on Liberty's head is observed,
possibly due to die misalignment. A pleasing specimen. Housed
in an Old Green Holder.
