1875 T$1 PR67 PCGS. Type One Reverse. Rare. According to Breen, more than 90% of the 700 proofs struck in 1875 were of the Type Two Reverse variety. This example is one of the rare examples showing the Type One Reverse with a berry beneath the eagle's claw. The survival rate for this issue seems high, with several hundred specimens graded at each of the major services (including possible resubmissions). Superb Gems are rare, however, as just two such pieces have been seen at PCGS, and only five coins have been rated at PR67 by NGC, with none finer at either company (11/16). This coin is fully struck with superior, seemingly flawless preservation and rich hues of variegated patina that adorn both sides. Included are shades of bright-green, deep-violet, charcoal-red, and beige.
From The Sounder Collection, Part II.
