Superb Gem Cameo Proof 1884 Liberty Quarter Eagle The Finest Certified by PCGS 1884 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). This incredible quality Proof quarter eagle is undoubtedly going to become a centerpiece of an advanced collection. Of the 73 pieces struck in Proof, 35 to 45 are known today, and this is the finest example seen by PCGS. NGC lists a couple of others that are tied at this grade level, but none are reported any finer by that grading service. The fields are especially bright with no signs of toning or patina. The deep mint frost on the devices provides the basis for the strong contrast. This is a low mintage date overall, and Proofs are obviously rare in any grade. The top of one of the 8s is apparently mispunched down in the dentils below the second 8. There is the usual orange-peel texture in the fields, seen on most Proof gold coins of the era. An important opportunity for a specialist who demands the finest available. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers My congratulations go to you if you are the successful bidder. You have a condition rarity unequalled by any other collector, dealer, or museum. PCGS# 87910. PCGS Population: just 1; and none are finer in any category. In fact, there are no DCAM examples certified.
