Description
1896 Liberty Half Eagle, PR64 Cameo
Dramatic Field/Device Contrast
1896 $5 JD-1, Low R.5, PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The
Philadelphia Mint struck a generous production of 103 proof Liberty
half eagles in 1896, to accompany a small business-strike mintage
of 58,960 pieces. A single pair of dies was used to strike all the
proofs, with the date positioned lower than the date on the
business-strikes, making it possible to distinguish between the
formats. The proofs were well-produced and many examples show
dramatic Cameo surfaces. This impressive Choice proof is a case in
point, with sharply detailed, frosty design elements that contrast
boldly with the deeply mirrored fields. The pleasing yellow-gold
surfaces are well-preserved and eye appeal is outstanding. The high
quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. Population: 2 in 64
Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 2 in 64, 1 finer (10/24).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 106904, Base PCGS# 88491)
