Lot 874
1875 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 64. Ex Byron Reed. A popular key date in a series already replete with low mintages. This date started out with 400 circulation strikes and a mere 20 Proofs. In their 13 years of grading, PCGS has certified 8 Proofs (some of which may be resubmissions). Of those, 3 appear at the Proof-64 level (including this one) and only 3 have been graded higher (all PR-65). Being in an old style, green label holder, this one has a good shot at earning a Cameo designation. This near-Gem example features glittering, orange-yellow toning on both sides. From the famous Byron Reed collection. Identifying marks: small lintmark near the rim opposite the tip of the bust; tiny lintmark between the 1srt and 2nd stars; tiny lintmark near the rim between the 3rd and 4th stars; tiny lintmark above the 2 of the fraction (PCGS # 7901) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 20,000.
