Admirable 1895 Quarter Eagle, PR66 Deep Cameo

1895 $2 1/2 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. The tiny emissions of business strike quarter eagles that began in the 1880s only slowly increased in the 1890s, and 1895 saw a modest production of 6,000 circulation strikes accompanied by 119 proofs. Interestingly, all of the other gold denominations, from half eagle through double eagle, had generous to enormous mintages for the era, perhaps leading to this issue being generally somewhat underrated. The potential bidder should not fail to appreciate this piece, however, as its combination of impeccable surfaces, lovely greenish-yellow patina, and a bold strike with deeply contrasting surfaces will elicit considerable admiration. Population: 6 in 66 Deep Cameo, 1 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P2)
