Choice Proof 1886 Quarter Eagle, One of Just 88 Pieces Struck

1886 PR 64 ICG. A glittering, two-toned specimen with needle sharp definition in all areas. There is no repunching of the 1 in date and a lack of polish within the stripes of the eagle's shield, both diagnostics used to distinguish proofs from prooflike business strikes. One of just 88 pieces struck in this low mintage year for quarter eagles, with perhaps fewer than two dozen coins extant in choice and better condition.
