Significant examples:
PCGS graded Proof 66. Ex - Ira &
Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.'s "Benson Collection, Part I",
February 16, 18-20, 2001, lot 1087, illustrated, where it was described as
follows: "…A beautiful example with frosty devices and moderately deep
mirror fields. A few contact marks are visible on the reverse on the N and
E on ONE. Nevertheless, this is an outstanding example of this
exceptionally tough date. As with the 1860 issue, many coins struck this
year were struck only once on moderately mirrored dies. This lack of
quality standards at the Mint has made this a real tough issue to locate
in gem condition. Out on an original mintage of 1000 pieces, only about
400 were released. The survivor rate seems to be quite low, perhaps many
substandard examples were subsequently spent, or included collections as
non-proofs.
There is enormous collector demand for this issue in gem condition. Expect
fierce competition for this beauty.", sold for $19,550.00
