Comments: The Proof 4 die
pairing is one of five die pairings that struck proof cents during
1895. The Proof 4 die pairing will later be in service striking
business cents during the Variety 7 die pairing.
Rick Snow of
Eagle Eye Rare Coins was extremely kind in granting me permission to
use his images in order to illustrate Proof 4 for this book.
