1893 Eagle, PR64 Ultra Cameo
Rare as a Proof

1893 $10 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. The proof 1893 eagle's mintage of only 55 coins was not unusually low for the period, as mintages in the 40 to 80-coin range were commonplace for proofs of this denomination during the 1890s; remarkably few, however, survive today in all grades (a popular estimate is only 15 to 18 coins), and three of these are held permanently off the market in the Smithsonian Institution (two pieces) and the American Numismatic Society Collection (one piece). This piece exhibits bold field-motif contrast that is fully deserving of the Ultra Cameo designation awarded by NGC, and displays razor-sharp definition throughout. Rich honey-gold patina further heightens the appeal of this immensely attractive proof gold piece. Census: 4 in 64 Ultra Cameo, 5 finer (6/14).(Registry values: P2)
