<B>1965<50C> SMS MS67 Ultra Cameo NGC.</B></I> Ice-white devices confirm the Ultra Cameo designation for this high quality Special Mint Set example. The prominently mirrored fields appear to have been heavily basined and certainly resemble those of a proof, although the mint was trying to actively discourage collectors in 1965 and the SMS coins were allegedly a step down from actual proofs. The coin is brilliant throughout and the contrast between fields and devices is strong enough that it resembles the finish on later date proofs when the mint actually tried to produce proofs that look like this. In this case, it was accidental that such a piece was produced from new dies. Simply outstanding quality. Census: 8 in 67 Ultra Cameo, none finer (7/06).
