PCGS graded Proof 66 Red. Ira &
Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.'s "Benson Collection, Part I",
February 16, 18-20, 2001, lot 1142, illustrated, where it was described as
follows: "…A beautiful deep mirror example that grabs the light and
doesn't give it back. An early die state example with "orange peel"
fields.
After the dies are hubbed and the date is applied, the die is given
multiple polishes with progressively finer and finer polish. The last
polish given to the dies prior to being hardened gives the field a surface
quite like a mirror. This is the deepest mirror attainable on the dies.
When the die is hardened, the metal shrinks slightly creating a wavy
effect on the polished surfaces. It looks somewhat like the surface of an
orange. When you see orange peel on a proof issue you can be sure that it
is one of the first examples struck from those dies. Later polishing to
the already hardened dies will produce a flatter and shallower mirror.",
