An outstanding example of this popular Civil War date which saw a mintage of just 500 proofs. The strike is exceptionally bold and produced an ultra deep mirrored field that adds strong contrast to the heavily frosted design features. The obverse is mostly brilliant with a halo of iridescent gold at the rim. The reverse has a white center with a stunning concentric toning pattern of gold, blue and russet at the border. Wonderful quality and super eye appeal!
