1894 Quarter Eagle, PR66 Deep Cameo
Rarely Seen Finer

1894 $2 1/2 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. JD-1, Low R.5. Ex: Simpson. The Philadelphia Mint struck a relatively generous mintage of 122 proof Liberty quarter eagles for collectors in 1894, to accompany a small business-strike production of just 4.000 pieces. The proofs were delivered in quarterly batches of 13, 35, 13, and 61 examples, all struck from a single pair of dies. The proof obverse shows the date positioned lower than the date on business strikes, making it possible to distinguish between the formats. John Dannreuther estimates that no more than 60 to 70 proofs are extant in all grades.

This delightful Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout and the impeccably preserved
yellow-gold surfaces include deeply mirrored fields that contrast boldly with the frosty devices. Overall eye appeal is outstanding. This coin is pictured on PCGS CoinFacts. Population: 7 in 66 (2 in 66+) Deep Cameo, 5 finer (11/23).(Registry values: P2)
