1878 8TF $1 PCGS PR64CAM

Desirable proof striking of this first-year variety, just 500 proofs reported struck of all 1878 varieties. No DCAM examples are known for the 8TF variety, making cameo examples hotly pursued! A tough issue that rarely sees the light of day, the last PR64CAM auction record is from 2019. Undoubtedly cameo with sharp contrast between the frosted devices and the flashy mirrored fields. Pleasingly veiled in a light sienna-tan hue that deepens toward the rims, an effect which naturally draws your eye toward the central devices. Razor-sharp definition is appreciable, enhanced tremendously by the full proof brilliance. A phenomenal coin to view in hand, and an issue that is always difficult to locate, this strong cameo example is sure to excite! Ready for inclusion in a high-end registry set and situated right before the price guides double. We note a cluster of roughness at the UN of UNUM as well as the E - P of E PLURIBUS, which appears to be struck through threads, as minted.
