Near white with a hint of gold. Breen lists two varieties for the Proofs of 1875,
and this coin best matches the description of the second variety. I have
owned the first variety, and it is easy to identify that one, so I can
assure you that this piece is not one of those. The second variety
reportedly has some recutting on the 5 in the date but I can not see any
through my stereo microscope. If there is any recutting, it may have been
pretty well polished away by the time this coin was struck.
