Description
1898 Liberty Half Eagle
PR64+ Deep Cameo
Low-Mintage Proof Rarity
1898 $5 JD-1, R.5, PR64+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. The
production of 75 proofs stands out as one of the lowest proof
mintages of the late-era Liberty half eagles. For all 42 proof
issues from 1866 to 1907, the mintage is tied for 24th lowest, but
it is tied with 1894 for the lowest proof production of all issues
from 1892 to 1907. John Dannreuther identifies a single die pair
for the 1898 proof half eagles. CAC has endorsed this stunning
near-Gem Deep Cameo proof as a remarkable example at the grade
level. The fully detailed devices are highly lustrous, featuring
brilliant butter-yellow mint frost, surrounded by fully and deeply
mirrored fields. Population: 3 in 64 (2 in 64+) Deep Cameo, 13
finer. CAC: 4 in 64, 10 finer (12/24).From The McCoy Family Collection.
