1886 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. The deep yellow-gold surfaces of this attractive Proof display heartily frosted devices and richly mirrored fields, all bathed with a blush of soft peach iridescence. The strike is, of course, superb in its sharpness and its ability to capture the viewer's eye. The present Choice DCAM Proof is truly deserving of the grade, as the surfaces are pristine to the unaided eye and virtually blemish-free under low magnification. One of 88 Proofs of the date and denomination struck, though somewhat fewer than that number can be accounted for today -- the PCGS website suggests just 35 to 45 Proof 1886 quarter eagles are known to today's collectors, a figure we adhere to as well. Few indeed are the opportunities for an astute collector to obtain a Proof of the date. Absolutely choice in all regards, from the physical to the aesthetic, and any and all stops in between.
