- Impressive Deep Cameo Proof 1890 Quarter Eagle 1890 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). This gorgeous near-Gem sports vivid golden yellow color to fully struck, boldly cameoed surfaces. From a mintage of 93 Proofs, up appreciably from the total of just 48 coins achieved for the Proof 1889 quarter eagle. Contemporary demand for gold Proof sets must have returned to more normal levels in 1890 and, indeed, this issue has a respectable surviving population (for its era) of 50 to 60 coins. At least two of the survivors are impounded in museum collections -- both at the Smithsonian Institution, and both of which are Choice Proofs. Similar in quality to the specimens in the National Numismatic Collection, this beautiful example would serve with distinction in any gold cabinet. PCGS# 97916. NGC ID: 288D. PCGS Population: 2; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Deep Cameo finest). Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
