1913 Matte Proof NGC PF64 RB
[ Click on coin to view full size image ] Description
What a pretty coin. This 1913 matte proof is nearly full red, with vibrant "neon" blue and purple highlights on both sides. No carbon spots anywhere, just awesome toning, presumably from the tissue paper that these matte proofs were sold in by the U.S. Mint. It is close to the RD designation, and close to 65, making this coin PQ for the grade. I doubt this one will last very long before someone grabs it, considering all the requests I've been getting for matte proofs. The smaller images show muted colors for some reason, so to see the fully saturated colors, click on the picture several times all the way to the extra large full screen image. It will be worth it!
