Proof Liberty Quarter Eagles
1895 $2 1/2 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. In lower grades, the 1895 might be worthy of consideration for those looking for Liberty Head quarter eagle in proof format. The Mint produced 119 specimens that year to accompany a minuscule production of 6,000 circulation strikes. About 60 to 80 proofs are believed extant, and while many display comparable field-device contrast, few can match the quality of this offering.
Advanced proof gold specialists and Registry builders are sure to fall for this spectacular Superb Gem with Ultra Cameo contrast. Textured fields are glassy and unmarked, contrasting boldly against razor-sharp devices covered in a thick layer of mint frost. Eye appeal is unimprovable, and the technical quality is nearly unsurpassed. Census: 11 in 67 Ultra Cameo (2 in 67★, 1 in 67+★), 2 finer (6/17).
