Proof Mintage: 15

Walter Breen identified four different varieties as having been struck in Proof format. Today, there are only two recognized Proof varieties for the year, the Proof-only N-14 and N-12. The N-12 is by far the rarer of the two with just two examples confirmed. Of the two confirmed, the example we sold in the Twin Leaf Collection is the finest.
