1887 Quarter Eagle, PR64+ Cameo
CAC, Finest Cameo Example
1887 $2 1/2 JD-1, R.5, PR64+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. The mintage of
proof quarter eagles surpassed 100 pieces for the first time in 27
years in 1887 with 122 proofs struck, yet less than half are
estimated to survive. The treasury department diluted the initial
value of the proofs by producing unneeded circulation issues, just
enough to prevent dealers from making a profit from the immediate
rarity.This coin displays bold olive-gold luster with deepening patina predominantly on the reverse's fields. The piece is largely free from any obfuscating markings, though a thin as-struck roller mark runs straight from Liberty's eyelids through a lock of hair that can only be observed via loupe. This piece represents both the finest Cameo attributed example seen by PCGS as well as the sole Plus attributed piece, further bolstered by a CAC endorsement. PCGS Population: 3 in 64 (1 in 64+) Cameo, 0 finer (3/26).
