1879 Proof-64 NGC.
The satiny motifs and mirror fields present a pleasing pastel lilac-gray appearance throughout; in a bold light source the coin comes alive with vibrant iridescent peach and neon blue highlights. Nicely struck and aesthetically appealing; we note a faint toning spot at the 1 of the date, otherwise there is nothing to contradict the assigned grade. Struck to the tune of 1,541 pieces, Proofs of the era were often sold in quantities to visitors at the Mint who speculated in other Proof denominations as well, including gold $1 and $3 pieces. A great opportunity to obtain a popular-date Proof of the era, and we expect warm bidding activity will be the order of the day for this lot.

NGC Census: There are 220+ Proof examples of the date listed as Proof-64 or finer; the finest are 3 examples called Proof-68.
