1898 Five Dollar, PR66 Deep Cameo
Exemplary Surfaces and Contrast

1898 $5 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. JD-1, R.5. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The Mint struck 75 proof half eagles in 1898, and it is believed that only 40 to 50 pieces survive today in all grades. Numerous duplications are likely reflected in the published population reports. Among the pieces known, Deep Cameos are the rarest. The Simpson Premium Gem is one of just three Deep Cameo examples reported this fine at PCGS, with seven higher-grade examples listed. Rich orange-gold surfaces are deeply mirrored in the fields, with starkly contrast, thickly frosted devices. The strike is sharp, and neither side exhibits a single notable mark. A stunning late 19th century proof type coin. Population: 3 in 66 Deep Cameo, 7 finer (11/21). CAC: 4 in 66, 4 finer (12/21).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28D4, PCGS# 98493, Greysheet# 9280)

Weight: 8.36 grams
