Owner's Description
This is a frosty, cameo prooflike coin with absolutely amazing eye appeal. There is some weakness in the centers of both the obverse and reverse. The periphery is very well struck. The color is a rich orange gold. There are four grading events for MS64 (two at NGC, two at PCGS) with none finer. However, there are ten auction appearances for an MS64 1872 at Heritage between 1994 and 2003 in both PCGS and NGC holders and every one of these appearances is this coin. Is it possible that this is the lone MS64? Possibly! Purchased from Doug Winter. Images provided courtesy of www.raregoldcoins.com.
