1893 $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle JD-1 R.5 PCGS PR67DCAM CAC

1893 Two and a Half PR67 Deep Cameo Superb Quality and Eye Appeal 1893 $2 1/2 PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. JD-1, R.5. Although prooflike 1893 quarter eagles exist, they are seldom confused with proofs due to the date position. Proofs such as the present coin show the 1 in the date far closer to the dentils (almost touching) than the circulation strikes, which display the date positioned slightly higher. This Superb Gem example is clearly one of the finest among 50 to 60 survivors from the 100-piece proof mintage. Die polish fills the lower portion of the open areas between vertical shield stripes, with the upper sections clear and fully reflective. A razor-sharp strike imparts richly frosted raised motifs, with bold gold-on-black contrast against deeply mirrored fields. Population: 4 in 67 Deep Cameo, 1 finer. CAC: 4 in 67, 1 finer (6/24).(Registry values: P2) From The Benedict Family Collection.
