1895 $5 PR66 Cameo NGC. An exceptional Gem that exudes eye appeal for the well frosted devices which are wonderfully offset by the textbook orange peel mirror fields. Of paramount importance is the quality of the surfaces, for rarely are these delicate Proof gold coins found with such sterling quality. Most show significant hairlines or contact marks which are easily caused during all but the most careful examination. For identification there is a minute tick near Liberty's truncation above the 5 and a tiny planchet flake within Liberty's flowing curls on the back of her head. In terms of rarity, this is the finest graded by PCGS in the Cameo category, with a technically matching coin found their Deep Cameo category which may be the finest to survive. Toned with graceful orange-gold and yellow-gold hues over both sides.

Grover Cleveland was President in 1895, serving his second four year term which began in 1893. Interestingly, Cleveland was first elected to the White House in 1885, then lost his bid for reelection in 1889, this despite winning the popular vote, Benjamin Harrison won the electoral votes needed to edge Cleveland out. Cleveland regained the office of the Presidency after the four year break, and is the only President to have accomplished this feat. He was a true fiscal conservative and barred favors to any economic or political group. When Congress voted to appropriate $10,000 to distribute seed to drought-stricken farmers in Texas, Cleveland vetoed the bill. He wrote "Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character..." Such views have apparently become less popular with most politicians these days.

Auction 360 | Lot 30472 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1895 $5 PR65 Cameo NGC.Only a meager 81 proofs were struck in 1895 and currently, 29 pieces have been certified in all grades by both services combined. Many of these are likely resubmissions to achieve the "Cameo" designation. Breen estimates that between 25 and 30 examples still exist today.

This Gem coin has incredibly deep mirrors that provide a virtual black backdrop to the nicely frosted golden devices seen on each side. There are only a couple of very light, almost imperceptible hairlines in the fields, these being too faint to use as future identifiers. An outstanding piece of proof gold, it would be hard to imagine a finer example. Part of an 1895 proof set, the other pieces from the set are offered individually throughout the catalog. Population: 5 in 65 Cameo, 2 finer (11/04).
