Heavily Contrasted Cameo Proof 1890 Proof Quarter Eagle

1890 PR 66 Heavy Cameo ANACS. Of the few proofs struck, we doubt there could be any coins extant today (none are graded higher) that possess more eye appeal than this amazing piece. The fields go "black" with mirrored reflectivity and provide a stark contrast for the heavily frosted devices. This profound field-to-device contrast is seldom seen on proof coins produced prior to the 1980s. Virtually defect-free with only a slight luster scrape on the chin of Liberty worthy of mention.
