1894 $2 1/2

Description

NGC 1894 PR 65 Cameo. Of the 122 proofs produced a century ago, it has been estimated that perhaps no more than 42 to 44 remain today. This is one of the finest examples known with NGC having only graded three others as PR 65 with another four finer. Incidentally, as a date, 1894 is a better one in the series with only 4,000 business strikes produced. This is an astonishing coin with ultra-deep mirrors in the fields that shimmer with reflectivity. The fields have a strong dose of frost that provides a stark cameo contrast against the "black" mirrored fields. There are no reportable or distracting blemishes or alloy spots. A superior 19th century proof gold coin.
