Incredible Top-Pop Proof 1886 Liberty $2.50 The Sole Finest Certified at PCGS 1886 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5. Proof-67 Deep Cameo (PCGS). This is a spectacular specimen that represents the sole finest example graded for the issue at PCGS. Deep, vivid pinkish-orange color is enhanced by a desirable orange-peel texture in the fields. Sharply defined with a rich satiny texture on the devices and deeply mirrored fields. A truly ideal representative of both the type and issue with superior surface quality throughout. An irresistible opportunity for the advanced collector. Just 88 Proof quarter eagles were struck in 1886 and only about half survive for today's collectors. PCGS CoinFactsand John Dannreuther (2018) agree on a range of just 35 to 45 known. Dannreuther points out that 41 pieces were sold in 1886 as part of complete Proof sets, while the balance were acquired individually from the Philadelphia Mint by collectors at the time. Most survivors are in grades of Proof-65 and lower, making the offered Superb Gem an astounding rarity. Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part I, September 2020, lot 10124. The plate coin for the issue in the 2018 Dannreuther reference on Proof gold coinage. PCGS Population: just 1 in Proof-67, all categories; 0 finer. PCGS# 97912. NGC ID: 2889. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
