Lot 928: 1897 Pittsburgh Pirates Cameo Pepsin Gum Pin

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $500.00
Winning Bid: $937.67
Price Realized: $1,120.51
Auction Date:8/31/2001 9:00 PM EST

One of the most beautiful 19th century pins we have seen. Out of this world gem is in spectacular condition. The best Cameo Pepsin we have seen because there are not only no flaws and the contrast perfect, but this is the darkest one we know of (they are usually faded out). The only criticism would be a slight amount of rust on the verso, which is acceptable and does not affect the overall beauty of the piece. Otherwise NRMT-MT. 1.25" diam.
