Cameo Proof 1887 Quarter Eagle

1887 PR 64 Cameo NGC. A magnificent example of this scarce proof issue. The fields reflect the orange-peel texture peculiar to gold proofs of the era. Examination reveals some faint hairlines in the fields, with a couple of light luster grazes on the chin of Liberty. A total of 122 proofs were struck this year with perhaps as many as 50 still remaining today. Few could come close to the eye appeal of this example.
