Lot Title: 1910 NGC PR-67+
Lot Number: 172
Description: 2 graded PR-67+, 4 higher at NGC. One of the joyous activities in numismatics is the opportunity to examine a "Roman Gold finish" proof sunken-relief gold coin in extremely high grade. The finish differs minimally from that of a circulation strike, which helps explain why it proved unpopular with contemporary collectors who had trouble distinguishing true proofs from well struck commercial pieces. But the inimitable razor-sharp definition and extreme care taken to preserve these precious jewels is what sets them far apart from normal strikings. Medium gold and copper-orange hues decorate the obverse, relieved by a couple of bright moonbeam-gold flashes across the headdress. Deeper citrus-gold hues saturate the reverse, again tempered by occasional steely moonbeam accents. The cataloger could not locate even the slightest blemish, so the grade might be determined by a pair of hairlines on the reverse, one aligned with the eagle's back and another straying faintly off to the right.
