1895 Quarter Eagle, PR66 Deep Cameo
Bright, Even Yellow-Gold Coloration

1895 $2 1/2 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. The unremarkable proof mintage of 119 quarter eagles in 1895 was accompanied by an extraordinarily low 6,000 business strikes, one of a long string of low-mintage P-mint issues lasting from the early 1870s to the mid-1890s. Both proofs and high-grade business strikes are nonetheless available for a price, as it seems by this late in the 19th century, numismatists were paying attention to mintage figures for circulating coins to some degree. This splendid Premium Gem Cameo proof is deeply mirrored, with significant mint frost on the devices. The surfaces are bright, even yellow-gold with a slight slight orange-peel texture in the fields and no obvious contact marks. Population: 7 in 66 Deep Cameo, 2 finer (1/12).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 288J, PCGS# 97921, Greysheet# 8566)
