Description
1888 Five Dollar, PR64 Cameo
Only 50 to 60 Known
1888 $5 JD-1, High R.5, PR64 Cameo PCGS. The mintage for
1888 proofs was low as just 95 coins were produced and around half
to a third were either melted or entered circulation. Only 50-60
examples are known today of which Cameo and Deep Cameo examples are
in the minority as PCGS reports just seven in Cameo and six in Deep
Cameo (4/26). This proof is well-struck with vivid detailing of the
eagle's feathers, and while somewhat shallow in the hair above, the
band the details are still easily perceptible. The coin is free
from abrasions with none apparent and only a minor spot before the
A in AMERICA serves as a pedigree mark. Finding a finer Cameo
example is unlikely as PCGS has seen just a single such piece at
PR66, making this a phenomenal Registry example (4/26).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 106880, Base PCGS# 88483)
Weight: 8.36 grams
