Significant examples:
1. NGC Proof-65 (illustrated
above). Ex - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins &
Collectibles, Inc.'s "The California Sale", October 2-3,
2000, Lot 599, where it was described (in part) as follows: "A
beautiful example of this popular issue, the strike is a bit weak at
the center of the reverse, as seen on the few examples that survive
on this and the more common reeded edge variety (J-1281). The toning
on this piece is outstanding, a lovely antique gold around the edges
and devices, while Liberty's head is very frosty and white, the
reverse similar with gold toning around the periphery. The
obverse and reverse designs feature a Liberty Head and an eagle
respectively. The obverse shows Liberty with a decided pout on her
lips, the design attributed to J. A. Bailly. On the reverse there is
an eagle holding a shield and is similar to Barber's
"Amazonian" patterns of 1872."
