Lot 925
1895 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 64. Premium Quality. This lovely coin hails from the celebrated collection of John Jay Pittman, a man of moderate means who built one of the finest collections of Proof American coins through shrewd and judicious purchases (not to mention a little foresight and good luck). He selected this coin for its excellent eye appeal and lovely, golden toning. PCGS reports 5 at this level, with 6 graded higher. Housed in an old style, green label PCGS holder. Original mintage -- 81 Proofs. No identifying marks -- presumably the 64 grade stems from a tiny patch of hairlines on Liberty's chin. It's still a premium-quality coin! (PCGS # 8490) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
Ex John Pittman Collection.
