Lot 961
1893 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 64 Deep Cameo. Philadelphia coined only 55 Proof Eagles in 1893, this being one of the nicer survivors. Most likely one of the first produced, as the intensity of the frosting can only be found on the earliest strikes, before the dies began to self-polish. This one has a sunny, yellow-gold disposition and an impressive, two-tone cameo contrast, fully deserving of the Deep Cameo designation. Excellent surfaces, with just a few stray lines from handling. A rare and desirable example of this stunning rarity.
Estimated Value $18,000 - 21,000.
