Lot 2354
1894 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 64 Deep Cameo. Well struck and a blazing Proof. Bright with gold-on-gold somersaulting frost-above-mirror whose radiance on both sides of this cleanly untoned specimen must be seen to be appreciated. About as fully struck as these are normally found, with just terrific detail in the stars and hair, the coronet and beaded hair cord. Switching to the reverse design, this side also shows care in manufacture that sets these fine Proofs apart from the business strikes. Every element of the reverse is needle-sharp; and all, like the obverse design, comes bathed in cameo frost. Only 75 Proofs struck. Pop 3; none finer at PCGS. Only 5 DCAM's graded at PCGS. (PCGS # 98489) .
Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000.
