Description
1855 Arrows Quarter, PR64 Cameo
Rare, Two-Year Type
1855 25C PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The Guide Book gives
no mintage figures for the 1855 quarter proof. Larry Briggs (1991)
gives a figure of "15+ proofs," though it is not clear whether this
is the estimated mintage or number known. Walter Breen (1989) says
"possibly 15 to 20 survive in all," and PCGS/NGC population data
indicate 20 certified examples, both non-Cameo and Cameo examples
combined.Light reddish-tan patina exists on the rims of this near-Gem and hints of this same color palette show up on both faces under magnification. Mirrored fields yield strong contrast with the moderately frosted, sharply struck devices. Some unobtrusive wispy field marks preclude Gem classification but do not detract from the coin's pleasing eye appeal, aptly recognized by the CAC green label. Population: 2 in 64 Cameo, 1 finer. CAC: 1 in 64, 1 finer (8/20).
