1879 Proof-62 CAM PCGS.
This mostly brilliant Proof -- from the first year of the series without branch mint or circulation strike coinage -- exhibits modest but complete contrast between the frosty motifs and mirror fields. A wash of pale champagne-gold endorses both sides of this sharply struck specimen. Aside from some obvious hairlines throughout, there are no marks of consequence to be found. The large Proof production tally for the date, 1,541 pieces, reflects a robust speculative market in Proof coinage; next year’s tally would prove to be the height of such folly in the series. Choice for the grade.

PCGS Population: There are 130+ CAM Proof examples of the date listed as Proof-62 or finer; the finest are 2 examples called Proof-68.
