Description

1886 Five Dollar, PR64 Cameo
Deeply Reflective, Textured Fields

1886 $5 PR64 Cameo NGC. JD-1, Low R.6. Half eagles were some of the few gold coins struck at the Mint in circulation-strike format in 1886. While 388,360 of those regular-issue five dollar pieces were put out, proof production totaled just 72 coins. Granted, that represented a proof mintage unseen since 1859, when 80 proofs were struck, but the 1886 proof half eagle still stands as rarity today. John Dannreuther estimates 25 to 30 specimens survive. This near-Gem exhibits deeply reflective orange-peel textured fields surrounding frosted, expectedly fully struck devices. A few points of contact are noted in the left obverse field. Census: 2 in 64 Cameo, 4 finer (7/22).(Registry values: P4)
