1910 Indian Head $5 NGC PF67

The 1910 continues the two-year tradition of using the Satin or Roman Gold finish on gold proofs. Many business strikes were similarly finished, but there can be no doubt about the method of manufacture of this lovely, fully struck proof. Curiously a single Matte proof example exists of this date, but all other proofs have the Roman finish seen here. The surfaces have a very fine granular texture and appear to be essentially as struck.
