PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. Ex -
Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.'s "Benson Collection, Part
I", February 16, 18-20, 2001, lot 1107, illustrated, where it was
described as follows: "…A beautiful cameo gem example. Moderate mirrors,
as deep as ever seen for this date. This die exhibits light die polishing
lines that may look like hairlines at first glance. There are a few Mint
made lint strike-throughs, but these are mostly hidden and don't detract
from the coin's beauty. These are made when the coin is struck and do not
affect the grade at this level. In fact, there is nothing on this coin
which should limit the grade to only a PR-65RD. The 1872 proof issue was
struck in about the same quantities as the other dates in the early
1870's, but for some reason, are much scarcer than other dates in gem full
red grades. Most of the encountered examples are some shade of red brown.
There is strong additional date demand for this issue due to the rarity of
the non-proof format issues. The reverse die used on this coin has a
curious anomaly. There is a distinct bulge on the right serif of the T in
CENT. This die is seen on later issues until 1877.", sold for $6,325.00
