详细说明: Outstanding Proof 1896 Quarter Eagle 1896 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Captivating golden yellow surfaces with a razor sharp strike and stark cameo contrast to both sides. Along with the 1897 and 1898, the 1896 is one of the most popular type candidates in the Proof Liberty Head quarter eagle series. All three issues were produced to a particularly high standard of quality with Cameo and Deep Cameo specimens in the majority among survivors. They also have generous mintages for their type, the 1896 with 132 Proofs struck. The rarest issue in this trio, however, the 1896 has an extant population of only 60 to 80 coins, as opposed to 100 or more survivors for both the Proof 1897 and 1898. A find for the specimen type collector, this gorgeous near-Gem would do equally well in a specialized collection of Proof Liberty Head gold coinage. PCGS# 97922. NGC ID: 288K. PCGS Population: 1; 17 finer in this category (Proof-68 Deep Cameo finest). Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
