civil war issue
Nice  proof for the time whatever that means as there were few comparisons
that I could find within last 5 years
some light marks indicating possible cleaning in the past but must hold at angles
to see  otherwise clear choice to gem
The history prior to me is not known or forgotten -
They have been lightly handled by me  in doing pics and placing in holder
yes had trouble with pics  with old equipment and varying light
coin better then pics in some natural and some artificial (yellowish) light
Prices in books are
not reflective of rarity of set as all proof prices show same value even those
with 2 to 3 times the mintage for this  date     also look at all sold in archives
very few found over past 5 years  RARE  DATE
