Description
1889 Quarter Eagle, PR65 Deep Cameo
Rare With Deep Contrast
1889 $2 1/2 JD-1, R.6, PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. With a mere 48
proofs struck and only about half that number known to survive, it
stands to reason that very few Gem Deep Cameo examples exist today.
This deeply mirrored, high-contrast example displays vivid
orange-gold color and only a few light field specks and pinpoint
marks exist on the PR65 Deep cameo surfaces. Sharply struck with
all obverse and reverse design elements beautifully formed. While
an average year in the 1880s computes to 94 proofs produced, the
1889 issue is a low-mintage anomaly that attracts collectors who
recognize the absolute rarity of this proof date. Heritage seldom
offers such an opportunity for gold proof specialists. PCGS
