Proof Liberty Quarter Eagles
1891 $2 1/2 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. Characteristics of this proof die pair include bold die doubling of AMERICA (different than the FS-801 circulation strike doubling) and repunching of the 891 in the date. Mint records indicate that 80 proof 1891 quarter eagles were struck, although likely only about half or slightly less survive today in all grades. We have previously handled only four Ultra/Deep Cameo examples. This Choice Ultra Cameo is fully struck and showcases starkly contrasted devices amid rich yellow-gold coloration. A loupe reveals nothing more than a few stray lines that prevent a Gem numeric grade. A lovely example of this rare 19th century proof gold issue. Census: 2 in 64 Ultra Cameo, 13 finer (6/17).
