1891 Half Eagle, PR64 Deep Cameo
Tremendous Contrast

1891 $5 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. JD-1, High R.5. The sole dies. The Mint reduced proof half eagle production considerably from 1890 to 1891, when only 53 pieces were struck. John Dannreuther (2018) estimates that 25 to 35 examples survive in all grades, while PCGS reports "30 to 40 known." That service lists eight submissions in non-Cameo, four in Cameo, and 12 in Deep Cameo, including the present near-Gem. Orange-gold surfaces feature tremendous contrast between the frosted relief elements and the mirrorlike, textured fields that surround them. A few superficial contact marks have no impact whatsoever on eye appeal. Population: 4 in 64 (2 in 64+) Deep Cameo, 8 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28CV, PCGS# 98486, Greysheet# 9259)
