Impressive Choice 1895 Proof Quarter Eagle

1895 $2 1/2 PR 64 Cameo ANACS. This is a glittering, cameo proof with a light overlay of haziness that partially obscures the reflective fields at certain angles. The color is an original green-gold shade that assumes an orange-gold hue over the frosted devices. Despite a disparity in mintage, the proof 1894 (122 pieces produced) is equally as rare as the 1892 (105 pieces produced) and 1893 (106 pieces produced). No more than 45 examples of the former issue are believed extant.
