Untoned silver gray surfaces with reflective fields supporting frosty design elements. Extremely rare. According to the 1999 Rulau-Fuld revision of Baker, just two are known.

The latter example, recently certified MS-63 by PCGS, realized $3,840 as lot 20553 in our November 2019 sale of the William Spohn Baker Collection.
