Proof Seated Quarters
1882 25C PR66 Cameo NGC. Briggs 2-B. Deeply mirrored fields are free of all but a few trivial, widely separated delicate lines. The devices are crisply impressed with a fresh, frost-white appearance to earn the well-deserved Cameo designation -- this despite being struck from dies that display numerous signs of die rust on Liberty's portrait. We note a Mint-caused, tiny die flaw at O in OF, the sole mark to mention on this mostly brilliant and untoned Premium Gem proof. Housed in a previous generation NGC holder. Census: 8 in 66 Cameo, 13 finer (2/17).
Ex: Philadelphia 2000 Signature (Heritage, 8/2000), lot 5834; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2001), lot 6927.
