I picked this one up at the PNNA show a few months ago. While it's not a design of great interest to me, I've always found something appealing about how smooth and almost chromed the proof surfaces are on these earlier proofs before cameo frost came along (and with it usually at least a bit of texture and perhaps some sharper edges on devices). The reverse could be better, but the obverse is really something to rotate in the light. NGC PF66.
