Lot 1708
1899. PCGS graded Proof 66 Deep Cameo. Only 150 minted. Lovely rich golden toning. An extraordinarily beautiful example of the date. Deep orange gold with fiery underlying luster. The devices are heavily frosted and mirrors are deep enough to approach what today's generation calls "black" when describing vivid contrast such as offered here. One of 150 Proofs of the date struck, with probably 100 or so Proofs still in collector's hands today. One glance at this extraordinarily lovely gem should convince you that you need search no higher up the grading chain to obtain a gorgeous gem Proof of the date. Take our word for it, you'll be hard pressed to find a more beautiful Proof 1899 quarter eagle in any grade or from any grading service. Pop 5; 8 finer, 1 in 66+, 4 in 67, 2 in 68, 1 in 68+ (PCGS # 97925) .
