Description

1892 Half Eagle, PR64+ Deep Cameo
Exceptional Production Quality
Endorsed by CAC

1892 $5 PR64+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. JD-1, R.5. Ex: Simpson. Proof gold coinage from the 1890s is renowned for its outstanding production quality. This 1892 proof half eagle certainly lives up to that reputation. It is one of an estimated 35 to 45 survivors, according to John Dannreuther, and derives from an original mintage of 95 pieces. Deep Cameo contrast tends to be the rule for this issue rather than the exception. Thickly frosted, fully struck devices set against seemingly jet-black fields deliver the noted effect. Quality for the grade is exceptional, as affirmed by PCGS and CAC, showing little more than a few microscopic, hair-thin marks. Population: 2 in 64 (2 in 64+) Deep Cameo, 5 finer. CAC: 2 in 64, 3 finer (1/22).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28CW, PCGS# 98487, Greysheet# 9262)
