Exquisite 1897 Quarter Eagle
PR67 Deep Cameo

1897 $2 1/2 PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. The proof coins struck from 1896 to 1898 are renowned for their exceptional quality, and the gold proofs are particularly prized. Among those proofs, the quarter eagles are often the best-preserved, and this Deep Cameo Superb Gem proof, one of 136 specimens coined, reinforces the rule. Each side has absolute black-and-gold contrast between richly frosted, decisively struck devices and the glassy mirrors. Virtually impeccable with spectacular eye appeal. This is one of just two Deep Cameo coins at this level known to PCGS with only one finer (4/09).(Registry values: P2)
