<B>1896 25C PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS.</B></I> Various styles of proofs have come and gone throughout American numismatic history, and the frosted proof is no exception. Prior to the contemporary era of frosted proofs, the technique reached its zenith in the mid-1890s, a fact acknowledged by many who write about the most famous proof issue of the time, the 1895 Morgan dollar. The finest examples of other issues confirm that opinion, specimens such as the piece offered here.<BR> The mirrors have seemingly limitless reflectivity, and the surfaces remain essentially untoned. The decisively struck devices exhibit rich frost with only a few minuscule breaks at the lower neck. As carefully preserved as one could expect for a century-old coin, this example has remarkable and enduring visual appeal. A wonderful choice for the discerning collector.
