1958 NGC PF68* (STAR) CAMEO 25C ~ DEEP CAM OBV & POP 4!

1958 NGC PF68* CAMEO 25C ~ STAR DESIGNATION: Ultra Cameo Obverse! (bx256)

NGC awarded this snow white monster a STAR for the exceptional Cameo-plus finish, which makes this a special and exciting piece. 1958 is a rare issue with anything beyond a regular Cameo contrast, and even those designated Ultra/Deep have a more shallow appearance than other 1950s Cameo dates. Deep mirrors and full contrast that falls just short of Ultra/Deep Cameo, mainly because it's a touch lighter on the eagle's right-facing wing feathers. This is a pop 4 in PF68 STAR CAMEO with only 2 finer, and there are only 5 in PF68 Ultra with just 1 finer. Thus, only a handful of coins exist of this caliber. The most recent auction records at Heritage put a PF68 Ultra/Deep at $2070 in 2005, and $2990 in 2007. The intense, absolutely pure white color is completely haze, spot, and toning free, and rounds this one off as an exceptional piece. Zero marks are visible!  A great opportunity to acquire high-end, Cameo-plus contrast for much less than the price of full Ultra or Deep. (The black mirrors are picking up a lot of glare, none of it is not on the coin.)
