Lot 363
1866. Rays. NGC graded Proof 66.A nice untoned example with sparkling bright surfaces, frosty devices and rich eye appeal. This is the first year of issue and a date which is rarely found so well preserved, even in Proof grades as normal handling reduced the majority of proofs well below the gem grade level. This one somehow survived in incredible PR-66 condition, with its delicate fields and devices virtually as struck so long ago. Pop 26; Only 6 finer at NGC, 3 in 63 star, 3 in 67; 8 finer in 66+ at PCGS.Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
