Dazzling Gem Proof 1885 Liberty Quarter Eagle

1885 $2 1/2 PR 65 Cameo NGC. A flashy, high quality specimen, one of just 87 proofs issued, that is bathed in orange patina and displays full, watery mirrors set against the heavily frosted devices. Inspection with a glass reveals a few wispy hairlines in the fields surrounding the eagle, only a minor distraction when one considers the immense overall eye appeal of this piece. Population: 8 in 65, 2 finer (2/00).
