Glittering PR64 1890 Quarter Eagle

1890 $2 1/2 PR64 PCGS. CAC. This Choice proof's green label holder does not specify any level of contrast, though a Cameo designation seems well-warranted by modern standards. Surfaces are primarily yellow-gold and strongly mirrored where not frosted, though a copper spot is noted within the vertical stripes of the shield. Exactingly struck with slight orange-peel texture in the fields and a few shallow disturbances, the most visible of which are in the lower right obverse and upper reverse areas, which preclude an even finer designation. One of just 93 proofs struck. Population: 7 in 64, 10 finer (11/10).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 288D, PCGS# 7916, Greysheet# 8549)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
