- Enticing Gem Deep Cameo Proof 1887 Quarter Eagle 1887 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-66 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This glorious Proof is exceptionally bright with no signs of toning and with bold contrast between the highly reflective fields and the frosted devices. The surface quality is remarkable, as there are no nicks or heavy lines on the delicate surfaces, and this degree of technical quality is unusual even on these Proof coins. The total mintage for the year was 122 pieces of which perhaps 50 are known in all grades today. Gems such as this are the most prized, and at the Proof-66 level there are just two seen with the Deep Cameo contrast, and none finer. Proof gold coinage of this era is especially beautiful as the Philadelphia Mint had perfected the contrast on Proofs. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers Liberty quarter eagles are one of the nicest designs in the gold series. Their small size presents a cameo-like appearance. In Mint State or, even better yet, Proof format they are especially beautiful to behold. The present coin will fit nicely in the finest collection. PCGS# 97913. PCGS Population: 2; none finer in the Deep Cameo Proof designation.
