Owner Comments:
This Ultra Cameo example has fully brilliant with silvery white surfaces on each side. Each side has deeply mirrored or reflective fields with highly lustrous devices to impart the amazing contrast that is displayed. This example and the other Proof in this sale each have tiny artifacts near the stars, the result of the hubbing process. Our instinct was that these may have represented some unusual form of die doubling, perhaps due to the hub being boldly impressed into the working die, however, this not the case. Both proofs have these identical die defects, and so does the Superb business strike also offered in this sale. (Heritage description)
