An original proof with an approximate mintage of 100, whose total figure is derived from the record of 80 silver proof sets delivered, plus around 20 pattern sets in which these were included. It is estimated that only around 50 of these exist today. This particular issue is known for a needle sharp strike and excellent mirrors, unmistakeable as a proof coin. Examining it next to a very well struck mint-state coin, it is easy to see why. Every detail of the design takes on a very three-dimensional appearance, particularly striking on the wreath of the reverse, and the eye of the eagle. This coin is a whole-heartedly original example in gem cameo, currently number three in the Coinfacts census among two other coins.
