Description

1871 Quarter Eagle, PR64 Ultra Cameo
Absolute and Conditional Rarity

1871 $2 1/2 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. CAC. The recorded proof mintage of 30 examples attests to the rarity of this issue. PCGS does not list any Deep Cameo pieces in their current Population report, while this coin is one of two PR64 Ultra Cameo specimens at NGC, where just one example is rated even finer at PR67 Ultra Cameo (3/18). In fact, there are only 15 examples at both services, less the inevitable resubmissions. The lump on the neck below the lovelock is a diagnostic of genuine proofs (per the Breen Proof Encyclopedia), and the date is high and close to the bust. The deeply reflective jet-black fields and the beautifully frosted yellow-gold devices yield amazing Ultra Cameo contrast on both sides of this rare specimen.
