The March 2013 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1892 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-68 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Extraordinary quality for the connoisseur which includes the visual depth in contrast between the mirrored fields and frosted devices. Fully brilliant throughout with no signs of toning noted. Each device shows thick mint frost which is virtually perfect in preservation, a feature that is required for this superlative grade. Mintage of 105 pieces for the year, with perhaps 50 to 75 existing today. The present coin is likely the very finest of that select group, both in terms of technical merits as well as the highly desirable Deep Cameo contrast. One other example is noted at this grade level by NGC, but none are finer at either grading service.<br /> <br /> These early gold Proofs have always been the king's caviar of American numismatics. Most of these Proofs were issued in sparse numbers, and survivors are even scarcer. Finding a Gem or finer is a challenge, and many collectors have never even seen such a coin, let alone owned one of these historic issues. No other examples are finer, and if you simply must have the very best, then here is a coin to own.
