1884 $2.50 AU58 认证号07435001, PCGS号7836

1884 $2.50 Liberty Gold. PCGS OGH AU 58 Tiny Mintage, SUBERB Eye Appeal, Rich Honey-Gold with Red toned highlights and is quite high on the eye appeal scale and warrants a shout out as I'm thoroughly enjoying the bright light viewing. The fields are sharply mirrored with undisturbed presentation. Spinning cartwheels add to the viewing enjoyment. This has been a "Wow" coin each time it is inspected. The strike is completed and the fields are close to pristine. Housed in PCGS Gen 2.2 (1989-1990) old green holder. Only 1,950 pieces were struck, making the 1884 one of the scarcer quarter eagles from the 1880s. As usual, the fields are partially prooflike. Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces show scattered light abrasions and a sharp strike throughout both sides. How is this not one of the 74 minted proofs? PCGS Population: 32 PCGS AU58. Mintage 1,950

Almost identicle in mintage to the 1883, but actually a bit more rare as a date. As is the case with the 1883 and 1882, deceptive first strike Uncs. exist and over the years some have undoubtedly been sold as "proofs". True proofs are very rare, however, certainly much more so than business strikes despite some cataloguers' claims to the contrary.
