Owner Comments:

Only 800 minted and few (21) with Cameo and 1 with Ultra Cameo contrast, what a find! The coin looks better than the picture. The scratch on the back is on the holder not the coin. I got the coin from the Heritage Long Beach sale and it is breathtaking. Based on the number on the holder it has been in the current holder for at least 15 years, it is tempting to break it out and resubmit to go for a Pr-65. I think that the up side of the early proof coin is great as people realize that the numbers are so small. This happened with proof gold and, I think, may occur with silver and copper-nickels proofs as well.
