- Incredible Deep Cameo Proof 1891 Half Eagle
Among the Finest Known for the Issue
Just 53 Struck
1891 Liberty Head Half Eagle. Proof-65+ Deep Cameo (PCGS).
Offered here is a truly exceptional Proof half eagle from the final decade of the 19th century. Traces of delicate apricot patina adorn the peripheries, complementing the splendid orange-peel texture that is present throughout. The fields are impressively mirrored, and deeply so to provide sharp contrast with the satiny devices. This superb technical execution is matched by superior preservation, the surfaces virtually pristine and a delight to behold.
A gorgeous Gem in all regards, few survivors from this 53-piece mintage can compare in either aesthetic or technical merit. With only 30 to 40 example known per PCGS CoinFacts, the Proof 1891 is rare at any level of preservation. For Set Registry collectors or connoisseurs of the most exquisite Proof gold coinage, this stunning specimen represents a significant bidding opportunity not to be overlooked.
PCGS Population: 2; just 2 finer in this category (Proof-67 Deep Cameo finest).
PCGS# 98486. NGC ID: 28CV.
